How Much Is 2.88 Teaspoons of Corn Syrup in Grams?
2.88 teaspoons of corn syrup weighs 19.68 g. This is based on corn syrup having a density of 328g 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 2.88 teaspoons.
Formula and Step-by-Step
- Start with 2.88 teaspoons of corn syrup
- 1 teaspoon of corn syrup = 6.83g
- 2.88 × 6.83 = 19.68g
The same formula works for any amount. Multiply (or divide) by the density, then convert units as needed.
Measuring Tip
Liquid densities vary: oils weigh less per cup than water, while syrups and honey weigh more. This is why ingredient-specific conversions matter even for liquids.

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?
Weighing ingredients in grams eliminates the variability of volume measurements. A cup of flour can weigh anywhere from 120g to 160g depending on how it was scooped, but 120g of flour is always 120g of flour.
