How Much Is 4 Teaspoons of Ginger (Ground) in Ounces?
4 teaspoons of ginger (ground) weighs 0.28 oz. This is based on ginger (ground) having a density of 96g 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 ginger (ground)
- 1 teaspoon of ginger (ground) = 2g
- 4 × 2 = 8g
- Convert grams to ounces: 8 ÷ 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
For the most accurate results, weigh ginger (ground) on a kitchen scale. At small quantities, even slight over-measuring can overpower a dish.

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.
