Formula and Step-by-Step

teaspoons × 5.10g/tsp ÷ 28.3495g/oz = ounces

Start with 0.5 teaspoons of yogurt
1 teaspoon of yogurt = 5.10g
0.5 × 5.10 = 2.55g
Convert grams to ounces: 2.55 ÷ 28.3495 = 0.09 oz

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

Measuring Tip

Thickness varies between brands. Full-fat, low-fat, and non-fat versions can have slightly different weights per measuring spoon.

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.
