How Much Is 48 Teaspoons of Raisins in Ounces?
48 teaspoons of raisins weighs 5.11 oz. This is based on raisins having a density of 145g per cup. Because teaspoons measure volume and ounces measure weight, the result depends on the ingredient, and a different ingredient would give a different result for the same 48 teaspoons.
Formula and Step-by-Step
- Start with 48 teaspoons of raisins
- 1 teaspoon of raisins = 3.02g
- 48 × 3.02 = 145g
- Convert grams to ounces: 145 ÷ 28.3495 = 5.11 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.

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.
