Measuring Tip
One large egg white weighs approximately 30g and one large egg yolk weighs approximately 17g. Weighing separated eggs is more reliable than counting, since individual eggs vary in size.
Understanding the Units
What is a Teaspoon?
One teaspoon holds about 5 milliliters. There are 3 teaspoons in a tablespoon and 48 teaspoons in a cup. Teaspoon accuracy matters most with leaveners like baking powder and baking soda, where small differences affect rise and texture.
What is a Gram?
Grams are the preferred unit in professional kitchens and bakeries because they allow exact recipe scaling. To double a recipe, simply double the gram values. No need to worry about how tightly an ingredient is packed into a cup.
Frequently Asked Questions
1 teaspoon of egg whites is 5.06 g. This conversion uses the ingredient's density and scales proportionally - pick an amount or try the calculator.
The most accurate way is to weigh egg whites on a kitchen scale, since individual eggs vary in size. If you are measuring by volume, pour into the measuring spoon on a flat surface and read the level at eye height. Egg whites are liquid and settle naturally, so volume measurements are reasonably consistent.
Egg sizes vary naturally, so the teaspoons to grams result can differ by 5-10% between individual eggs. This conversion uses large eggs as the standard. For carton egg whites, the density is very consistent.
Weighing is more consistent than volume measuring. A teaspoon of egg whites can vary by 10-20% depending on how it's scooped, packed, or leveled. Weighing gives the same result every time, which is especially important in baking where precision affects texture and rise.
