How Much Is 4.27 Teaspoons of Cornmeal in Grams?
4.27 teaspoons of cornmeal weighs 13.34 g. This is based on cornmeal having a density of 150g 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 4.27 teaspoons.
Formula and Step-by-Step
- Start with 4.27 teaspoons of cornmeal
- 1 teaspoon of cornmeal = 3.13g
- 4.27 × 3.13 = 13.34g
The same formula works for any amount. Multiply (or divide) by the density, then convert units as needed.
Measuring Tip
Uncooked and cooked grains have completely different weights per cup. These conversions are for uncooked/dry grains unless specified otherwise.

Understanding the Units
What is a Teaspoon?
In baking, teaspoon measurements are critical for ingredients where precision changes the outcome. Too much baking soda (1 tsp = 6g) creates a metallic taste, while too little means flat results.
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.
