How Much Is 7.68 Teaspoons of Vegetable Oil in Grams?
7.68 teaspoons of vegetable oil weighs 34.88 g. This is based on vegetable oil having a density of 218g 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 7.68 teaspoons.
Formula and Step-by-Step
- Start with 7.68 teaspoons of vegetable oil
- 1 teaspoon of vegetable oil = 4.54g
- 7.68 × 4.54 = 34.88g
The same formula works for any amount. Multiply (or divide) by the density, then convert units as needed.
Measuring Tip
For liquids, place your measuring spoon on a flat surface and read at eye level. The bottom of the meniscus (the curve at the surface) should align with the measurement line.

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.
