How Much Is 1.5 Teaspoons of Egg Yolks in Ounces?
1.5 teaspoons of egg yolks weighs 0.28 oz. This is based on egg yolks having a density of 253g 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 1.5 teaspoons.
Formula and Step-by-Step
- Start with 1.5 teaspoons of egg yolks
- 1 teaspoon of egg yolks = 5.27g
- 1.5 × 5.27 = 7.91g
- Convert grams to ounces: 7.91 ÷ 28.3495 = 0.28 oz
The same formula works for any amount. Multiply (or divide) by the density, then convert units as needed.
Measuring Tip
A whole large egg without shell weighs about 50g. When separating eggs for a recipe, weigh the whites and yolks individually for the most accurate results.
