How Much Is 21.43 Teaspoons of Active Dry Yeast in Ounces?
21.43 teaspoons of active dry yeast weighs 2.27 oz. This is based on active dry yeast having a density of 144g per cup. Because teaspoons measure volume and ounces measure weight, the result depends on the ingredient, and a different ingredient would give a different result for the same 21.43 teaspoons.
Formula and Step-by-Step
- Start with 21.43 teaspoons of active dry yeast
- 1 teaspoon of active dry yeast = 3g
- 21.43 × 3 = 64.29g
- Convert grams to ounces: 64.29 ÷ 28.3495 = 2.27 oz
The same formula works for any amount. Multiply (or divide) by the density, then convert units as needed.
Measuring Tip
Leavener measurements are critical because even small differences affect rise and texture. When possible, weigh active dry yeast rather than relying on volume.

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 an Ounce?
Weight ounces and fluid ounces are different measurements. A fluid ounce measures volume (29.574 ml), while an ounce measures weight (28.35g). They only align for water, where 1 fl oz weighs approximately 1 oz.
