How Much Is 5 Teaspoons of Wheat Bran in Grams?
5 teaspoons of wheat bran equals 6.04 g. Wheat bran has a density of 58g per cup (1.21g per teaspoon), which means it's relatively light compared to other common cooking ingredients. For comparison, 5 teaspoons of honey would be 35.42 g.
Formula and Step-by-Step
- Start with 5 teaspoons of wheat bran
- 1 teaspoon of wheat bran = 1.21g
- 5 × 1.21 = 6.04g
The same formula works for any amount. Multiply (or divide) by the density, then convert units as needed.
Measuring Tip
Humidity affects wheat bran weight. In humid conditions, flour absorbs moisture and weighs more per cup. Store it in an airtight container for consistent results.

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.
