Understanding the Units

What is a Teaspoon?

A teaspoon (tsp) is a US customary unit of volume equal to 4.929 milliliters or 1/3 of a tablespoon. It is the standard measure for spices, leaveners, extracts, and other small-quantity ingredients.

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.

For the most accurate results, weigh cream of tartar on a kitchen scale. If measuring by volume, spoon the ingredient into the measuring spoon and level it off with a straight edge rather than scooping directly.
Weight-per-cup values vary because of differences in how the ingredient is measured (spooned vs scooped), grind size, moisture content, and settling during storage. Our values use standardized measurement methods from established culinary references.
