How Much Is 144 Teaspoons of Cornstarch in Grams?
144 teaspoons of cornstarch equals 384.00 g. Cornstarch has a density of 128g per cup (2.67g per teaspoon), which means it's relatively light compared to other common cooking ingredients. For comparison, 144 teaspoons of honey would be 1,020 g.
Formula and Step-by-Step
- Start with 144 teaspoons of cornstarch
- 1 teaspoon of cornstarch = 2.67g
- 144 × 2.67 = 384g
The same formula works for any amount. Multiply (or divide) by the density, then convert units as needed.
Measuring Tip
Different flour types have very different weights per cup. Always check the specific flour your recipe calls for rather than using a generic "flour" conversion.

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.
