Formula and Step-by-Step

teaspoons × 2.33g/tsp ÷ 28.3495g/oz = ounces

  2. 1 teaspoon of nutmeg = 2.33g
  3. 48.6 × 2.33 = 113.4g
  4. Convert grams to ounces: 113.4 ÷ 28.3495 = 4.00 oz

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

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?

Ounces are commonly used in US recipes for cheese, meat, chocolate, and other ingredients sold by weight. Many kitchen scales offer both gram and ounce readings.
