Formula and Step-by-Step

teaspoons × 3.02g/tsp ÷ 28.3495g/oz = ounces
  1. Start with 240 teaspoons of raisins
  2. 1 teaspoon of raisins = 3.02g
  3. 240 × 3.02 = 725g
  4. Convert grams to ounces: 725 ÷ 28.3495 = 25.57 oz

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

Measuring Tip

To prevent dried fruit from sinking in batter, toss it with a tablespoon of flour before folding in. This does not affect the weight measurement.

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.

Frequently Asked Questions

About 25.57 oz, based on raisins having a density of 145g per cup. The exact amount depends on how the ingredient is measured and the specific product.
Multiply the number of teaspoons by 3.02 (grams per teaspoon for raisins), then divide by 28.3495 to convert grams to ounces. For 240 teaspoons: 240 × 3.02 = 725g, then 725 ÷ 28.3495 = 25.57 oz.
For the most accurate results, weigh raisins on a kitchen scale. If measuring by volume, fill the measuring spoon loosely and level off without pressing down. Whole and chopped pieces give different weights per measuring spoon.
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.
