Formula and Step-by-Step

teaspoons × 5.10g/tsp ÷ 28.3495g/oz = ounces
  1. Start with 4 teaspoons of greek yogurt
  2. 1 teaspoon of greek yogurt = 5.10g
  3. 4 × 5.10 = 20.42g
  4. Convert grams to ounces: 20.42 ÷ 28.3495 = 0.72 oz

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

Measuring Tip

For the most consistent results, weigh greek yogurt on a kitchen scale rather than measuring by volume.

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 0.72 oz, based on greek yogurt having a density of 245g per cup. The exact amount depends on how the ingredient is measured and the specific product.
Multiply the number of teaspoons by 5.10 (grams per teaspoon for greek yogurt), then divide by 28.3495 to convert grams to ounces. For 4 teaspoons: 4 × 5.10 = 20.42g, then 20.42 ÷ 28.3495 = 0.72 oz.
For the most accurate results, weigh greek yogurt on a kitchen scale. If measuring by volume, spoon the ingredient into the measuring spoon and level it off with a straight edge rather than scooping directly.
Fat content has a small effect on density. Higher-fat versions are slightly lighter per volume because fat is less dense than water. The difference is usually under 5%, so this conversion works well for standard varieties.
