How Much Is 3 Teaspoons of Coconut Sugar in Grams?
3 teaspoons of coconut sugar weighs 11.25 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 3 teaspoons.
Formula and Step-by-Step
- Start with 3 teaspoons of coconut sugar
- 1 teaspoon of coconut sugar = 3.75g
- 3 × 3.75 = 11.25g
The same formula works for any amount. Multiply (or divide) by the density, then convert units as needed.
Measuring Tip
Sugar is one of the easier dry ingredients to measure by volume because the crystals pack relatively consistently compared to flour or cocoa powder.

Understanding the Units
What is a Teaspoon?
One teaspoon holds about 5 milliliters. There are 3 teaspoons in a tablespoon and 48 teaspoons in a cup. Teaspoon accuracy matters most with leaveners like baking powder and baking soda, where small differences affect rise and texture.
What is a Gram?
A gram (g) is a metric unit of mass equal to 1/1000 of a kilogram. It is the standard weight measurement for precise baking worldwide. Professional bakers prefer grams because they are more accurate than volume measurements.
