How Much Is 60 Teaspoons of Raw Sugar in Ounces?
60 teaspoons of raw sugar weighs 8.82 oz. This is based on raw sugar having a density of 200g 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 60 teaspoons.
Formula and Step-by-Step
- Start with 60 teaspoons of raw sugar
- 1 teaspoon of raw sugar = 4.17g
- 60 × 4.17 = 250g
- Convert grams to ounces: 250 ÷ 28.3495 = 8.82 oz
The same formula works for any amount. Multiply (or divide) by the density, then convert units as needed.
Measuring Tip
Raw sugar should be spooned into the measuring spoon and leveled off. Do not pack it unless the recipe specifically says to (packing is only standard for brown sugar).

Understanding the Units
What is a Teaspoon?
One teaspoon holds about 5 milliliters. There are 3 teaspoons in a tablespoon and 48 teaspoons in a cup. Teaspoon accuracy matters most with leaveners like baking powder and baking soda, where small differences affect rise and texture.
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.
