How Much Is 12 Teaspoons of Potatoes (Diced) in Grams?
12 teaspoons of potatoes (diced) weighs 37.50 g. This is based on potatoes (diced) having a density of 150g 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 12 teaspoons.
Formula and Step-by-Step
- Start with 12 teaspoons of potatoes (diced)
- 1 teaspoon of potatoes (diced) = 3.13g
- 12 × 3.13 = 37.5g
The same formula works for any amount. Multiply (or divide) by the density, then convert units as needed.
Measuring Tip
Raw and cooked produce have very different weights per cup. Cooked vegetables shrink and become denser. These conversions are for raw produce.

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.
