How Much Is 1.98 Teaspoons of Egg Whites in Grams?
1.98 teaspoons of egg whites weighs 10.02 g. This is based on egg whites having a density of 243g 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 1.98 teaspoons.
Formula and Step-by-Step
- Start with 1.98 teaspoons of egg whites
- 1 teaspoon of egg whites = 5.06g
- 1.98 × 5.06 = 10.02g
The same formula works for any amount. Multiply (or divide) by the density, then convert units as needed.
Measuring Tip
Carton egg whites and yolks have very consistent density, making them easier to measure by volume than freshly separated eggs. If your recipe calls for a specific gram amount, carton products are the most predictable.

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.
