How Much Is 0.2 Teaspoons of Egg Yolks in Grams?
Converting 0.2 teaspoons of egg yolks to grams gives 1.05 g. One teaspoon of egg yolks weighs 5.27g, so 0.2 teaspoons is 0.2 × 5.27 = 1.05g. This conversion is specific to egg yolks because each ingredient has a different density.
Formula and Step-by-Step
- Start with 0.2 teaspoons of egg yolks
- 1 teaspoon of egg yolks = 5.27g
- 0.2 × 5.27 = 1.05g
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?
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.
