How Much Is 3 Teaspoons of Egg Whites in Ounces?
3 teaspoons of egg whites equals 0.54 oz. Egg whites has a density of 243g per cup (5.06g per teaspoon), which means it's relatively light compared to other common cooking ingredients. For comparison, 3 teaspoons of honey would be 0.75 oz.
Formula and Step-by-Step
- Start with 3 teaspoons of egg whites
- 1 teaspoon of egg whites = 5.06g
- 3 × 5.06 = 15.19g
- Convert grams to ounces: 15.19 ÷ 28.3495 = 0.54 oz
The same formula works for any amount. Multiply (or divide) by the density, then convert units as needed.
Measuring Tip
One large egg white weighs approximately 30g and one large egg yolk weighs approximately 17g. Weighing separated eggs is more reliable than counting, since individual eggs vary in size.
