About how many grams in a teaspoon?!
Please answer :) :)Www@FoodAQ@Com
Answers:
Mark and Ruth are absolutely correct!. Asking how many grams are in a teaspoon would be the same as asking how many inches are in an hour!.
Try to look at it this way: A cup of lead pellets and a cup of feathers both occupy 8 fluid ounces of volume!. The pellets are going to weigh more than 8 ounces on a scale!. The feathers are going to weigh a lot less than 8 ounces on a scale!.
You can calculate the answer if you know the density of the ingredient you are measuring!. Many websites have this info and will do weight/volume equivalencies!.
This is from http://www!.gourmetsleuth!.com !.!.!.!. just so you can see the difference in volume/weight:
500 grams of mini marshmallows = 10 cups
500 grams of flour = 4 cups
500 grams of sugar = 2!.5 cups
(If you tell me what ingredient you are trying to measure, I'll gladly look it up for you)!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

Mark is right!. A teaspoon of sugar will weigh more than a teaspoon of flour!.
The teaspoon is, as he says, is a measure of volume not of weight!.
Grams are a measure of weight!.
Think of it this way!. There are two boxrs exacly the same size!. One is
filled with 4 bricks and the other is filled with lightly packed down feathers which would you rather carry up a mile long hill!?
The volume of the boxes is the same!. The weights are different!.
