Measuring Tip
Pour grains into the measuring spoon and level off. Do not shake or tap, as this settles the grains and increases the weight.
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.

The most accurate way is to weigh cornmeal on a kitchen scale. If you are measuring by volume, spoon the ingredient into the measuring spoon and level it off with a straight edge rather than scooping directly from the container, which packs more in and gives a heavier result.
Close, but not exactly. The teaspoons to grams conversion for cornmeal may vary slightly between brands depending on moisture content and how the ingredient is measured.
Weighing is more consistent than volume measuring. A teaspoon of cornmeal can vary by 10-20% depending on how it's scooped, packed, or leveled. Weighing gives the same result every time, which is especially important in baking where precision affects texture and rise.
