How Much Is 240 Teaspoons of Cornmeal in Ounces?
240 teaspoons of cornmeal weighs 26.46 oz. This is based on cornmeal having a density of 150g 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 240 teaspoons.
Formula and Step-by-Step
- Start with 240 teaspoons of cornmeal
- 1 teaspoon of cornmeal = 3.13g
- 240 × 3.13 = 750g
- Convert grams to ounces: 750 ÷ 28.3495 = 26.46 oz
The same formula works for any amount. Multiply (or divide) by the density, then convert units as needed.
Measuring Tip
Cornmeal weigh 150g per cup when dry. Cooked weight per cup will be different.

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 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.
