How Much Is 5 Teaspoons of Semolina Flour in Grams?
5 teaspoons of semolina flour weighs 17.40 g. This is based on semolina flour having a density of 167g 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 5 teaspoons.
Formula and Step-by-Step
- Start with 5 teaspoons of semolina flour
- 1 teaspoon of semolina flour = 3.48g
- 5 × 3.48 = 17.40g
The same formula works for any amount. Multiply (or divide) by the density, then convert units as needed.
Measuring Tip
Different flour types have very different weights per cup. Always check the specific flour your recipe calls for rather than using a generic "flour" conversion.

Understanding the Units
What is a Teaspoon?
One teaspoon holds about 5 milliliters. There are 3 teaspoons in a tablespoon and 48 teaspoons in a cup. Teaspoon accuracy matters most with leaveners like baking powder and baking soda, where small differences affect rise and texture.
What is a Gram?
A gram (g) is a metric unit of mass equal to 1/1000 of a kilogram. It is the standard weight measurement for precise baking worldwide. Professional bakers prefer grams because they are more accurate than volume measurements.
