How Much Is 4 Teaspoons of Garlic Powder in Ounces?
4 teaspoons of garlic powder weighs 0.46 oz. This is based on garlic powder having a density of 155g 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 4 teaspoons.
Formula and Step-by-Step
- Start with 4 teaspoons of garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon of garlic powder = 3.23g
- 4 × 3.23 = 12.92g
- Convert grams to ounces: 12.92 ÷ 28.3495 = 0.46 oz
The same formula works for any amount. Multiply (or divide) by the density, then convert units as needed.
Measuring Tip
Garlic powder weighs 155g per cup. For small amounts, the difference between a level and heaped measuring spoon can change the flavor noticeably.

Understanding the Units
What is a Teaspoon?
One teaspoon holds about 5 milliliters. There are 3 teaspoons in a tablespoon and 48 teaspoons in a cup. Teaspoon accuracy matters most with leaveners like baking powder and baking soda, where small differences affect rise and texture.
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.
