Formula and Step-by-Step

teaspoons × 5.10g/tsp ÷ 28.3495g/oz = ounces
  1. Start with 72 teaspoons of yogurt
  2. 1 teaspoon of yogurt = 5.10g
  3. 72 × 5.10 = 367.5g
  4. Convert grams to ounces: 367.5 ÷ 28.3495 = 12.96 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 teaspoon (tsp) is a US customary unit of volume equal to 4.929 milliliters or 1/3 of a tablespoon. It is the standard measure for spices, leaveners, extracts, and other small-quantity ingredients.

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.

Frequently Asked Questions

About 12.96 oz, based on yogurt having a density of 245g per cup. The exact amount depends on how the ingredient is measured and the specific product.
Multiply the number of teaspoons by 5.10 (grams per teaspoon for yogurt), then divide by 28.3495 to convert grams to ounces. For 72 teaspoons: 72 × 5.10 = 367.5g, then 367.5 ÷ 28.3495 = 12.96 oz.
For the most accurate results, weigh yogurt on a kitchen scale. If measuring by volume, spoon the ingredient into the measuring spoon and level it off with a straight edge rather than scooping directly.
Fat content has a small effect on density. Higher-fat versions are slightly lighter per volume because fat is less dense than water. The difference is usually under 5%, so this conversion works well for standard varieties.
