A teaspoon is a volume measurement and the equivalent weight in grams depends on the density of the substance. Typically, 1 teaspoon is about 5 grams of water, approximately 4.2 grams of granulated sugar, or around 2.6 grams of all-purpose flour. So, a teaspoon can weigh differently depending on the ingredient being measured:
- Water: about 5 grams per teaspoon
- Granulated sugar: about 4.2 grams per teaspoon
- All-purpose flour: about 2.6 grams per teaspoon
This means the exact gram value of a teaspoon varies by the ingredient due to differing densities.
