How Much Is 0.18 Teaspoons of Cornmeal in Grams?
Converting 0.18 teaspoons of cornmeal to grams gives 0.56 g. One teaspoon of cornmeal weighs 3.13g, so 0.18 teaspoons is 0.18 × 3.13 = 0.56g. This conversion is specific to cornmeal because each ingredient has a different density.
Formula and Step-by-Step
- Start with 0.18 teaspoons of cornmeal
- 1 teaspoon of cornmeal = 3.13g
- 0.18 × 3.13 = 0.56g
The same formula works for any amount. Multiply (or divide) by the density, then convert units as needed.
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?
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.
