4.8 teaspoons of parmesan (finely grated) weighs 0.28 oz. This is based on parmesan (finely grated) having a density of 80g per cup.

Formula and Step-by-Step
- Start with 4.8 teaspoons of parmesan (finely grated)
- 1 teaspoon of parmesan (finely grated) = 1.67g
- 4.8 × 1.67 = 8g

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.
