How Much Is 2.4 Teaspoons of Coconut Sugar in Grams?
2.4 teaspoons of coconut sugar weighs 9.00 g. This is based on coconut sugar having a density of 180g per cup. Because teaspoons measure volume and grams measure weight, the result depends on the ingredient, and a different ingredient would give a different result for the same 2.4 teaspoons.
Formula and Step-by-Step
- Start with 2.4 teaspoons of coconut sugar
- 1 teaspoon of coconut sugar = 3.75g
- 2.4 × 3.75 = 9g
The same formula works for any amount. Multiply (or divide) by the density, then convert units as needed.
Measuring Tip
Coconut sugar weighs 180g per cup. Different sugar types have different densities, so always use the specific type your recipe calls for.

Understanding the Units
What is a Teaspoon?
A US teaspoon is 4.929 ml, a metric teaspoon is exactly 5 ml, and an imperial teaspoon is 5.919 ml. The metric and US versions are nearly identical (1.4% difference), but the imperial teaspoon is 20% larger. For most spices the difference is negligible, but for leaveners like baking powder it can affect the result.
What is a Gram?
Grams are the preferred unit in professional kitchens and bakeries because they allow exact recipe scaling. To double a recipe, simply double the gram values. No need to worry about how tightly an ingredient is packed into a cup.
