How Much Is 240 Teaspoons of Cornstarch in Grams?
240 teaspoons of cornstarch equals 640.00 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, 240 teaspoons of honey would be 1,700 g.
Formula and Step-by-Step
- Start with 240 teaspoons of cornstarch
- 1 teaspoon of cornstarch = 2.67g
- 240 × 2.67 = 640g
The same formula works for any amount. Multiply (or divide) by the density, then convert units as needed.
Measuring Tip
Humidity affects cornstarch weight. In humid conditions, flour absorbs moisture and weighs more per cup. Store it in an airtight container for consistent results.
Cornstarch at Different Amounts

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.
