How Much Is 240 Teaspoons of Granulated Sugar in Grams?
Converting 240 teaspoons of granulated sugar to grams gives 1,000.00 g. One teaspoon of granulated sugar weighs 4.17g, so 240 teaspoons is 240 × 4.17 = 1,000g. This conversion is specific to granulated sugar because each ingredient has a different density.
Formula and Step-by-Step
- Start with 240 teaspoons of granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon of granulated sugar = 4.17g
- 240 × 4.17 = 1,000g
The same formula works for any amount. Multiply (or divide) by the density, then convert units as needed.
Measuring Tip
Granulated sugar should be spooned into the measuring spoon and leveled off. Do not pack it unless the recipe specifically says to (packing is only standard for brown sugar).

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.
