A standard teaspoon of granulated sugar weighs about 4 grams. More precisely, many reliable references use 4 grams as the typical weight per level teaspoon, with 4.2 grams often cited as the exact value per level teaspoon. Context and practical takeaways:
- If a nutrition label lists sugar in grams and you want to visualize it in teaspoons, divide the grams by 4 (roughly) to estimate the number of teaspoons.
- For example, 20 g of sugar equals about 5 teaspoons.
- Some sources distinguish between level and heaped teaspoons; a heaped teaspoon will weigh more (roughly 7–7.5 g for sugar, depending on how heaped it is).
If you have a specific quantity (in grams or per serving) you'd like converted to teaspoons, share it and I’ll calculate it.
