Teaspoons (tsp) to grams — water approximation
Approximate teaspoons to grams using water density (1 tsp ≈ 5 g for water). Use the ingredient converter for accuracy.
Based on water density. Sugar, flour, salt and spices differ — use the ingredient-specific page for precise values.
Density note These values use water density as an approximation. For flour, sugar, oil, honey and other ingredients results will differ — use the ingredient-specific pages for precision.

When to use this converter
Useful approximation for water and similar thin liquids; heavier or lighter ingredients differ.
Common mistakes to avoid
- 1 tsp of sugar ≈ 4.2 g, not 5 g. Always use ingredient-specific pages for baking.
- Measuring spices by weight (scale) is more consistent than by teaspoons across brands.
Quick example 3 tsp of water = 15 g. But 3 tsp of table salt = ~18 g. Always use the ingredient page.
