Formula and Step-by-Step
- Start with 0.24 teaspoons of nutmeg
- 1 teaspoon of nutmeg = 2.33g
- 0.24 × 2.33 = 0.56g
- Convert grams to ounces: 0.56 ÷ 28.3495 = 0.02 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 nutmeg 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?
An ounce (oz) is a US customary unit of weight equal to 28.3495 grams or 1/16 of a pound. In cooking, "ounces" refers to weight (avoirdupois ounces), not fluid ounces which measure volume.
