How to Convert Grams of Sugar to Teaspoons

To convert a measurement in grams to a measurement in teaspoons, multiply the sugar by the following conversion ratio: 0.24 teaspoons/gram.

Since one gram of sugar is equal to 0.24 teaspoons, you can use this simple formula to convert:

teaspoons = grams × 0.24

The sugar in teaspoons is equal to the sugar in grams multiplied by 0.24.

For example, here's how to convert 5 grams to teaspoons using the formula above.

teaspoons = (5 g × 0.24) = 1.2 tsp

How Many Teaspoons Are in a Gram of Sugar?

There are 0.24 teaspoons in a gram of sugar, which is why we use this value in the formula above.

1 g = 0.24 tsp

Experts often recommend measuring dry ingredients by weight for accuracy,[1] but some recipes use volume, and many home cooks don't own a digital scale. Converting between weight and volume can be tricky depending on sugar densities such as granulated, brown sugar, or powdered sugar.

This table shows the approximate volume measurement for various weights of various types of sugar to help with the conversion.

Should You Measure Sugar by Weight or Volume?

Many experts are adamant that dry ingredients like sugar should be measured by weight instead of volume, especially when used for baking.

The reason is that the density of different sugars varies slightly, so volume measurements will likely yield an incorrect amount of ingredients. Additionally, when using a cup or tablespoon, the amount that the sugar is compressed and above or under the measurement line will alter the actual amount.

Experts recommend having a digital food scale on hand for measuring sugar rather than measuring spoons or cups for the most accurate results.

Grams and teaspoons are both units used to measure sugar. Keep reading to learn more about each unit of measure.

What Is a Gram?

One gram of sugar is equal to the weight of 1/1000 of a kilogram, 0.035274 ounces or 0.00220462 pounds.

The gram, or gramme, is an SI unit of weight in the metric system. Grams can be abbreviated as g; for example, 1 gram can be written as 1 g.

What Is a Teaspoon?

A teaspoon of sugar is equal to the volume of 1/3 of a tablespoon.

The teaspoon is a US customary unit of volume. Teaspoons can be abbreviated as tsp, and are also sometimes abbreviated as t, ts, or tspn. For example, 1 teaspoon can be written as 1 tsp, 1 t, 1 ts, or 1 tspn.
