Formula and Step-by-Step

teaspoons × 5.08g/tsp ÷ 28.3495g/oz = ounces
  1. Start with 1 teaspoon of applesauce
  2. 1 teaspoon of applesauce = 5.08g
  3. 1 × 5.08 = 5.08g
  4. Convert grams to ounces: 5.08 ÷ 28.3495 = 0.18 oz

The same formula works for any amount. Multiply (or divide) by the density, then convert units as needed.

Measuring Tip

Mashed and pureed ingredients vary in density depending on texture. A smoother puree packs more densely per cup than a chunky one.

Frequently Asked Questions

About 0.18 oz, based on applesauce having a density of 244g per cup. The exact amount depends on how the ingredient is measured and the specific product.
Multiply the number of teaspoons by 5.08 (grams per teaspoon for applesauce), then divide by 28.3495 to convert grams to ounces. For 1 teaspoon: 1 × 5.08 = 5.08g, then 5.08 ÷ 28.3495 = 0.18 oz.
For the most accurate results, weigh applesauce on a kitchen scale. If measuring by volume, spoon the ingredient into the measuring spoon and level it off with a straight edge rather than scooping directly.
Weight-per-cup values vary because of differences in how the ingredient is measured (spooned vs scooped), grind size, moisture content, and settling during storage. Our values use standardized measurement methods from established culinary references.
