Formula and Step-by-Step

teaspoons × 2.5g/tsp ÷ 28.3495g/oz = ounces
  1. Start with 4 teaspoons of dried cranberries
  2. 1 teaspoon of dried cranberries = 2.5g
  3. 4 × 2.5 = 10g
  4. Convert grams to ounces: 10 ÷ 28.3495 = 0.35 oz

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

Measuring Tip

Chopping dried fruit before measuring gives a denser pack and higher weight per cup than whole pieces. Match the form your recipe specifies.

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.

Frequently Asked Questions

About 0.35 oz, based on dried cranberries having a density of 120g per cup. The exact amount depends on how the ingredient is measured and the specific product.
Multiply the number of teaspoons by 2.5 (grams per teaspoon for dried cranberries), then divide by 28.3495 to convert grams to ounces. For 4 teaspoons: 4 × 2.5 = 10g, then 10 ÷ 28.3495 = 0.35 oz.
For the most accurate results, weigh dried cranberries on a kitchen scale. If measuring by volume, fill the measuring spoon loosely and level off without pressing down. Whole and chopped pieces give different weights per measuring spoon.
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.
