How Much Is 5 Teaspoons of Type 00 Flour in Ounces?
5 teaspoons of type 00 flour equals 0.47 oz. Type 00 flour has a density of 127g per cup (2.65g per teaspoon), which means it's relatively light compared to other common cooking ingredients. For comparison, 5 teaspoons of honey would be 1.25 oz.
Formula and Step-by-Step
- Start with 5 teaspoons of type 00 flour
- 1 teaspoon of type 00 flour = 2.65g
- 5 × 2.65 = 13.23g
- Convert grams to ounces: 13.23 ÷ 28.3495 = 0.47 oz
The same formula works for any amount. Multiply (or divide) by the density, then convert units as needed.
Measuring Tip
Humidity affects type 00 flour weight. In humid conditions, flour absorbs moisture and weighs more per cup. Store it in an airtight container for consistent results.

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.
