How Much Is 6.69 Teaspoons of Tomato Paste in Ounces?
6.69 teaspoons of tomato paste weighs 1.29 oz. This is based on tomato paste having a density of 262g 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 6.69 teaspoons.
Formula and Step-by-Step
- Start with 6.69 teaspoons of tomato paste
- 1 teaspoon of tomato paste = 5.46g
- 6.69 × 5.46 = 36.52g
- Convert grams to ounces: 36.52 ÷ 28.3495 = 1.29 oz
The same formula works for any amount. Multiply (or divide) by the density, then convert units as needed.
Measuring Tip
Mashed and pureed ingredients vary in density depending on texture. A smoother puree packs more densely per cup than a chunky one.

Understanding the Units
What is a Teaspoon?
In baking, teaspoon measurements are critical for ingredients where precision changes the outcome. Too much baking soda (1 tsp = 6g) creates a metallic taste, while too little means flat results.
What is an Ounce?
An ounce (oz) is a US customary unit of weight equal to 28.3495 grams or 1/16 of a pound. In cooking, "ounces" refers to weight (avoirdupois ounces), not fluid ounces which measure volume.
