Formula and Step-by-Step
- Start with 0.51 teaspoons of parmesan (finely grated)
- 1 teaspoon of parmesan (finely grated) = 1.67g
- 0.51 × 1.67 = 0.85g
- Convert grams to ounces: 0.85 ÷ 28.3495 = 0.03 oz
The same formula works for any amount. Multiply (or divide) by the density, then convert units as needed.
Measuring Tip
Always shred or grate cheese before measuring by volume. A cup of block cheese weighs much more than a cup of shredded.
