Formula and Step-by-Step

teaspoons × 2.33g/tsp ÷ 28.3495g/oz = ounces
  1. Start with 9 teaspoons of onion powder
  2. 1 teaspoon of onion powder = 2.33g
  3. 9 × 2.33 = 21g
  4. Convert grams to ounces: 21 ÷ 28.3495 = 0.74 oz

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

Measuring Tip

Ground spices like onion powder settle and compact during storage. Stir or fluff before measuring by volume for a consistent amount.

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 0.74 oz, based on onion powder having a density of 112g per cup. The exact amount depends on how the ingredient is measured and the specific product.
Multiply the number of teaspoons by 2.33 (grams per teaspoon for onion powder), then divide by 28.3495 to convert grams to ounces. For 9 teaspoons: 9 × 2.33 = 21g, then 21 ÷ 28.3495 = 0.74 oz.
For the most accurate results, weigh onion powder 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.
Weight-per-cup values vary because of differences in how the ingredient is measured (spooned vs scooped), grind size, moisture content, and settling during storage. Our values use standardized measurement methods from established culinary references.
