How Much Is 1 Teaspoon of Greek Yogurt in Grams?
1 teaspoon of greek yogurt weighs 5.10 g. This is based on greek yogurt having a density of 245g 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 teaspoon.
