How many grams in 1 teaspoon?

Answer 1

It isn't possible to estimate spoon measurements, or other measurements of volume, in terms of weight. Consider the difference between a spoonful of flour and a spoonful of rice: the weight will be totally different.

The only way to assess how many grams, or milligrams, in one teaspoon is to weigh a teaspoonful of whatever it is you need to measure.

A US teaspoon in cooking and most other uses indicates a measurement of volume and is equal to one-third of a tablespoon.

A standard US tablespoon holds 15ml, a standard teaspoon holds a little less than 4.93ml, or 1 and1/3 US fluid drams or 1/3 cubic inch. However, in US food package labelling the teaspoon referred to equals exactly 5ml.

In the UK, Australia, and some other countries the volume of a standard tablespoon is 20ml and a standard teaspoon holds 5ml.

Cup and spoon measurements in cooking, pharmaceuticals, and other uses where dry ingredients are concerned, can also be expressed as scant, heaped, or flat, so you need to be aware there could be a difference. A measuring container containing a heaped quantity of dry ingredients could easily hold a third or more of the same quantity measured flat. Scant just means you don't quite fill the measuring container.
