How Much Is 4.77 Teaspoons of Cornstarch in Grams?
4.77 teaspoons of cornstarch weighs 12.72 g. This is based on cornstarch having a density of 128g 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 4.77 teaspoons.
Formula and Step-by-Step
- Start with 4.77 teaspoons of cornstarch
- 1 teaspoon of cornstarch = 2.67g
