How Much Is 2.4 Teaspoons of Raw Sugar in Grams?
2.4 teaspoons of raw sugar weighs 10.00 g. This is based on raw sugar having a density of 200g 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 2.4 teaspoons.
Formula and Step-by-Step
- Start with 2.4 teaspoons of raw sugar
- 1 teaspoon of raw sugar = 4.17g
- 2.4 × 4.17 = 10g
The same formula works for any amount. Multiply (or divide) by the density, then convert units as needed.
Measuring Tip
Raw 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).
Raw Sugar at Different Amounts

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?
Grams are the preferred unit in professional kitchens and bakeries because they allow exact recipe scaling. To double a recipe, simply double the gram values. No need to worry about how tightly an ingredient is packed into a cup.
