How Much Is 5 Teaspoons of Corn Syrup in Ounces?
5 teaspoons of corn syrup equals 1.21 oz. Corn syrup has a density of 328g per cup (6.83g per teaspoon), which means it's relatively light compared to other common cooking ingredients. For comparison, 5 teaspoons of honey would be 1.25 oz.
Formula and Step-by-Step
- Start with 5 teaspoons of corn syrup
- 1 teaspoon of corn syrup = 6.83g
- 5 × 6.83 = 34.17g
- Convert grams to ounces: 34.17 ÷ 28.3495 = 1.21 oz
The same formula works for any amount. Multiply (or divide) by the density, then convert units as needed.
Measuring Tip
Liquid densities vary: oils weigh less per cup than water, while syrups and honey weigh more. This is why ingredient-specific conversions matter even for liquids.
