How Much Is 48 Teaspoons of Mashed Banana in Grams?
48 teaspoons of mashed banana weighs 225.00 g. This is based on mashed banana having a density of 225g 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 48 teaspoons.
Formula and Step-by-Step
- Start with 48 teaspoons of mashed banana
- 1 teaspoon of mashed banana = 4.69g
- 48 × 4.69 = 225g
The same formula works for any amount. Multiply (or divide) by the density, then convert units as needed.
Measuring Tip
Mashed and pureed ingredients vary in density depending on texture. A smoother puree packs more densely per cup than a chunky one.

Understanding the Units
What is a Teaspoon?
A US teaspoon is 4.929 ml, a metric teaspoon is exactly 5 ml, and an imperial teaspoon is 5.919 ml. The metric and US versions are nearly identical (1.4% difference), but the imperial teaspoon is 20% larger. For most spices the difference is negligible, but for leaveners like baking powder it can affect the result.
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.
