Different people have their own vision about the number of products for cooking all kinds of dishes. Some rely on their eye and sense of proportion and measure “by eye,” others in grams, using kitchen scales that are always at hand, and others in spoons. However, those who do not have weights, but they need relative accuracy in weighing foods, medicines and herbs, ask themselves: “How many grams are in a teaspoon?” This article will describe how much and what kind of product is contained in a teaspoon.

Measure in grams of the amount of product in a teaspoon

When asking “how many grams are in a teaspoon”, they always mean that the product is typed with a “slide”. It should also be borne in mind that this measurement may have an error of several grams. It depends on how big the “slide” is, on the moisture content of the dry product, on the volume of the spoon, etc. This information will be very useful for young housewives, who are faced with the fact that the recipes give the number of products, either in glasses, in teaspoons and tablespoons, or in grams. Below are correspondences that will help answer the question: “1 teaspoon - how many grams?”.

Measuring Liquid Products in Teaspoons

In a teaspoon fits:

• water - 5 g;
• condensed milk - 12 g;
• vegetable oil - 5 g;
• butter - 5 g;
• cream - 5 g;
• sour cream of medium consistency - 10 g;
• tomato puree - 5 g;
• liqueur - 7 g;
• table vinegar - 5 g;
• preserves - 16 g.

How many grams in a teaspoon of bulk products

Below are the correspondences for dry bulk products. In a teaspoon fits:

How many grams are in a teaspoon. The medicine

Many in their lives have come across the fact that when a doctor writes a prescription, the dosage of drugs is often measured in spoons. In medicine, it is standardly believed that a teaspoon contains 5 ml of liquid. The solvent of the drug is mainly water. Thanks to this, it becomes easier to answer the question: “How many grams are in a teaspoon?”. In this situation, 5 ml is equal to 5 grams. However, these data give reason to doubt their accuracy, which is so important in taking medications. In a special experiment, it was proved that this correspondence is not entirely true. Firstly, different standard teaspoons have different volumes. So, the difference is significant - from 2.5 to 7.3 ml. Secondly, all people collect an unequal amount of liquid in a spoon. So, in the experimental group, the indicators of the set ranged from 3.9 to 4.9 ml.

Summarizing

As for cooking, there is no need for absolute accuracy in the measurement of products. Therefore, this method is quite suitable for this. However, it is better to use a syringe for the dosage of drugs.

In order to find out how many grams of sugar are in 1 tablespoon, it is not necessary to climb into the cabinet for kitchen scales or memorize information by heart. Sugar, as well as other bulk products weigh about the same.

Sizes of spoons, their capacity

• a tablespoon - meaning standard, 7 cm - length and 4 cm - width - holds 20 g (without top) or 25 g (with top) of granulated sugar;
• in a smaller spoon, 5 cm - length and 4 cm - width, fits 10 and 15 g of this sweet product without a slide and with a slide, respectively.

It turns out that not all devices are the same? You can measure your instruments for fun, if you suddenly make a mistake by applying granulated sugar with them.

Determine the number of spoons by product weight

Many housewives use a measuring spoon. It is more accurate than usual, as you can swipe your finger and pour a perfectly even amount of product without a slide.

But what if you need to know: 50, 100, 150, 200 grams of sugar - how many tablespoons of it? 100 grams of sugar is contained in half a faceted glass, but if not even it, then you can do with a spoon. They will need:

• 2.5 incomplete or 2 filled - this is 50 g;
• 5 incomplete or 4 filled equal 100 g;
• 7.5 incomplete, 6 filled - 150 g;
• 10 incomplete or 7.5 completed are equal to 200 g.

Note that 7.5 incomplete and full spoons differ by 50 g and may result in an error in accuracy. For 100 and 200 g it is more convenient to measure sugar with a spoon without a mound, and for 50 and 150 - with a mound.

How many grams of sugar, salt and other foods are in a tablespoon

Bulk products vary slightly in weight, they are all about the same. The lightest of the products is wheat flour, which weighs only 10 g, and the heaviest is table salt, which weighs 25 g.

It is worth paying attention that usually the value is given in full tablespoons, that is, with the top. The list below shows the maximum values.

For dry food:

• sugar (sand) - 25 g;
• powder (sugar) - 25 g;
• table salt - 30 g;
• white rice - 25 g;
• wheat flakes - 9 g;
• oatmeal - 14 g;
• white flour - 10 g;
• barley groats - 20 g;
• millet - 25 g;
• barley - 25 g;
• semolina - 25 g;
• buckwheat - 25 g;
• dark raisins - 25 g;
• hercules - 12 g.

For liquid foods:

• table vinegar 15% - 15 g;
• tomato paste - 30 g;
• village sour cream - 25 g;
• cow's milk - 20 g;
• condensed milk - 30 g;
• bee honey - 35 g;
• melted butter - 17 g;
• ghee - 20 g;
• olive or sunflower oil - 17 g;
• plain water - 18 g;
• berry or fruit jam - 50 g.

It is worth noting that not all liquid and viscous products can be applied a full tablespoon, for example, butter or condensed milk. In this case, by default it is considered that the device is not full.

In the table below you can see how many grams of sugar and other products in tablespoons of different sizes:

Usually the sugar in the recipe is indicated in grams. It is more convenient, of course, to use a kitchen scale, but if they are not there, a glass or a teaspoon can be a good substitute.

There are several options for measuring:

1. To weigh a product with a glass, you need to decide which glass it is. If faceted with a rim, then it will include 250 g, but if without a rim, then only 200;
2. A tablespoon contains 25 g. Dessert - 10 less than a tablespoon, 15 g. The most uncomfortable measure, of course, is a teaspoon - it contains only 7 g.

So, it’s not so difficult to pour the amount of grams of dry food into a glass or a spoon as it seemed. All this utensil contains quite convenient weight for counting. Perhaps someday you will be able to fill in the eye with the right amount of granulated sugar while cooking.

Many housewives were faced with accurate recipes for new dishes, where the ingredients are indicated in grams. In the kitchen, there is not always a measuring cup or electronic scale at hand, and when cooking “by eye” there is a risk of getting the wrong taste that was described in the comments on the dish.

A teaspoon will help maintain the specified amount of ingredients, you just need to know how much it accurately holds bulk and liquid products. For convenience, we summarize the most common of them in a table.

Usually when it comes to bulk products contained in a tablespoon or teaspoon, it means that they go flush with the rim of the spoon, but in some cases a small slide is provided.

In recipes, this is stipulated, but if you need to find out how many grams of bulk product per slide, then you can use the tabular data.

The table of loose products per 1 teaspoon

If you even scooped up a dry product with interest, you can adjust its total mass in the dish using the data in this table. Especially, this will help those who daily count the number of calories contained in food. On the packaging of bulk ingredients, the weight is indicated, but it is difficult to constantly subtract the consumed fractions of the product from it. And with the help of a teaspoon, the right amount is measured. Unlike the dining room, it most accurately measures small doses of the desired product. But you can not rely on its volume and take all the ingredients on the basis that they weigh the same, each loose component has its own specific gravity, therefore, measuring them with one measure, we get a different mass. In addition, storage locations for bulk products may affect it: with increased humidity, it increases.

How many grams of liquid foods are there in one teaspoon?

The masses of food liquids are given below, taking into account the fact that thicker compositions will be collected with a spoon and a slide, and rarer ones will be poured to its edges.

Table of liquid products per 1 teaspoon

Products	Weight in grams
Jam	17
Water	5
Red caviar	7
Liquor	7
Potassium permanganate	5
Mayonnaise	10
Honey	12
Whole milk	5
Condensed milk	12
Fruit puree	17
Vegetable oil	5
Butter	5
Sour cream	10
Soy sauce	5
Cottage cheese	4
Tomato paste	5
Apple vinegar	5

These data still have a small error - this is due to the different sizes of teaspoons. Some manufacturers make them exclusive and do not withstand standard sizes.

How much protein fits in one teaspoon?

Athletes or people training in the gym “for their health” need to clearly adhere to a certain diet daily and use protein to preserve their physical achievements. It is found in the following foods: eggs, cottage cheese, beef, legumes, cereals, and tuna. But sometimes their content is not enough to preserve and increase efforts, so you have to add extra protein in powder with various additives from vitamins and minerals to the diet. For the preparation of a healthy protein shake in many recipes, the main component is indicated in grams.

Calculations can be made from the fact that in a teaspoon it fits 5 grams.

Now there are various measured tanks, but in their absence it is quite possible to do with a teaspoon. It helps to accurately measure the necessary grams of water or sugar, and prepare your favorite dish without any extra worries. The convenience of this tableware is unrivaled: it can measure any liquids and bulk solids used for cooking or for domestic purposes.

And if a large number of them is required by prescription, then it is better to use a standard faceted glass, the volume of which for liquid products is 200 ml, and for loose - 20 teaspoons.

For any housewife when preparing a new dish according to an unfamiliar recipe, it becomes a real problem if there is no culinary (kitchen) scale at hand. Especially when the dose of ingredients is indicated in grams.

Therefore, today we will consider how much baking soda, sodium chloride, cinnamon, granulated sugar and many other products are in the same teaspoon with and without a slide. Because the weight of a particular substance depends on its type, consistency and can be very different.

It is clear that if you do not observe the proportions when cooking, this can change its taste for the worse. Even make the food unsuitable for further consumption, especially when it comes to salt, seasonings, soda and baking powder.

The issue of correctly adding the right amount of products is relevant! And if there is no special scale in the kitchen to determine the volume of a teaspoon in grams, is there no measuring cup? What to do when many recipes use a standard measure and contain instructions with a list of food ingredients in grams?

There is an exit! You can quickly and easily find the right amount of different substances from the following table:

Salt

Probably, table salt is one of the most commonly used products in cooking, so it is very important to know how much salt is in a teaspoon so as not to spoil the dish.

You see that the table above indicates how many grams fit. But keep in mind that this is with a slide:

1. Extra salt is smaller and lighter than a large table salt, so up to 8 g (with a slide) will fit in one spoon.
2. Large crystals of salt weigh more - about 10 grams.

Keep this in mind, without salt you can only cook jam or jam.

Sugar

In second place in terms of popularity of the component, you can put granulated sugar. Moreover, it is used very widely: preparing drinks, desserts, as well as unusual side dishes of meat, fish, sauces and milk porridges.

It is important to understand how much sugar in a teaspoon is, if you take:

• without a hill - 5 g;
• with a slide - 7 gr.

All is well, that in moderation! If all proportions are observed, the dish will be neither fresh nor cloying.

Honey

Natural bee honey is a beekeeping product with a lot of useful properties. Adding the correct proportions of the ingredient, so as not to spoil the sauce, drink, dessert or marinade, requires any cook to know exactly how many grams of honey a teaspoon holds!

Remember, in a teaspoon is placed fresh liquid honey about 9 g. If it begins to crystallize - 10 or more grams. Then a little clean the hill with a spoon, adjust the recipe.

Of course, flower honey comes in many forms. I will say in advance that dark varieties of honey weigh several lighter varieties. But, I believe that this is not critical. Just know that when honey is sufficiently liquid, it is better distributed in a spoon according to its edges. Sugared natural sweetness - will be a piece.

Dry yeast

Most housewives cook pastries and delight their household. The main secret to making delicious cakes and pies is a properly kneaded dough containing yeast.

Of course, the fastest version of the product used is dry powder. I wonder how many grams of dry yeast are in a teaspoon?

This type of dry yeast contains from 3 to 5 g. Moreover, if there are no special weights, then three grams of yeast is in a spoon without a slide and five grams with a slide!

Lemon acid

In fact, lemon is very wide in application. It is added to various mousses, drinks, desserts, sauces, meat marinades and soups. Even a very small amount of it gives an original refreshing taste to the dish. However, if you overdo it, the food will be spoiled! So how much citric acid in 1 teaspoon can be?

Strictly observe the following proportion: 5 g is placed in a teaspoon of citric acid. This is the secret of preparing delicious dishes and successful preservation.

Coffee

A coffee drink, aromatic and tasty, can turn out such when cooking, when you know exactly how many grams and how many tablespoons of coffee you need to add.

Coffee is instant or ground coffee. Its weight in a teaspoon will depend on the type of product. In a teaspoon is placed 8 g of natural ground coffee.

It is extremely difficult to cook such a professional recipe without exact proportions.

Weighing instant coffee in the same volume, you will find that it is much lighter than ground grain and its weight is 6 g in one teaspoon.

Soda

Without soda, making pancakes, pancakes and pies is very problematic. Moreover, baking soda with the addition of a drop of vinegar can completely replace the industrial baking powder. The dough rises, becomes more airy and magnificent.

Soda is even involved in the preparation of home remedies.

When the taken dose of soda exceeds, the dish deteriorates in taste or the medicine cannot be prepared. Therefore, you need to know how much a gram of soda is placed in a teaspoon:

• without a pot - 7 g;
• with a slide - about 12 gr.

Oil

You know that butter comes in many varieties: sunflower, olive, corn and others. Each type of oil has features and composition.

Oil is widely used in the preparation of first courses, meat, pastries, desserts. Add it more than normal is impractical, otherwise the output dish may no longer be useful, too fat or vice versa.

How many grams of oil in a teaspoon, of course, depends on the type and grade, but the average figure will be 6 g.

Sour cream

Sour cream, one of the most popular fermented milk products! Pancakes are served with her, whitewash borsch is added to the table, and added to pastry sauces and creams.

One teaspoon contains 9 g of sour cream (with a composition of 30% fat content).

Of course, that guessing the weight of substitutes for a natural product and numerous sour cream is not easy. The above proportion is true when buying natural tasty sour cream.

Flour

Flour is used not only in the production of baking, but it is also used in the preparation of creams for cakes, sauces, pastries and many meat and fish dishes. Most types of flour - wheat, buckwheat, corn, have the same specific gravity.

It is important to find out how many grams of flour are in a teaspoon:

• with a slide - 5 g;
• without a pot - 4 g.

So that the dough does not turn out too thick, know how to choose its proportions.

Weight in a teaspoon: Product measures table in grams

Watch a useful video on the channel "Friendly Family" about how much flour, sugar, salt is in a glass, in a tablespoon and a teaspoon.

When preparing certain dishes, every housewife from time to time faces a situation where it is necessary to measure the weight of the ingredients with an accuracy of a gram. In addition, most recipes offer very ambiguous formulations of the content of the products, such as a pinch of soda, an incomplete glass of flour, or citric acid on the tip of a knife. But few people know the exact weight of these components. For example, how much salt is in a teaspoon? 99% of housewives will not be able to answer such a simple question. And if a spoon with a slide, and if, for example, you use large crystals? Plus, keep in mind that each kitchen has different dishes, so the task of calculating the exact weight is becoming increasingly difficult. But let's look: how much salt is in a teaspoon, if it is “with a slide”, without a slide, if the salt is coarse or finely ground, etc. Why is it important to know? Because we use this component daily, and if you add more salt than you need to eat, you risk irrevocably spoiling it. Few people can eat salted soup or a main dish.

We answer the question: "How much salt is in a teaspoon?"

Remember - the named container contains 7 grams of white crystals, and already filled, that is, “with a slide” - 10 grams, if the salt is large, then its weight in a teaspoon will be only 5 grams. Also keep in mind that when writing recipes, the author usually implies that you take the ingredient “with a slide”, otherwise they write something like “an incomplete teaspoon of salt”.

That's so simple, but these data will help you put the right amount of ingredient, because what could be worse for any housewife than heavily salted stew or borsch, the taste of which is almost impossible to fix? Note that when baking, many recipes also require approximately 1 teaspoon of salt (this helps to improve the taste and quality of the dough). Now you will not be embarrassed if, for example, the weight of the product was mentioned in the cookbook instead of writing "add 10 grams of salt." You already know how much this is, so never again spoil delicious pastries.

How many grams of salt does one tablespoon contain?

So, we found out how much salt weighs. How many grams the dining room holds - see below. A standard appliance with a length of 7 cm and a width of 4 cm is 25 grams of salt, and “with a slide” is all 30 grams. Keep in mind that a large one weighs more, and therefore in one tablespoon it will be only 20 grams. Having made simple mathematical calculations, it can be noted that 1 tablespoon of ordinary crystals contains 3 teaspoons of the mentioned product, that is, if you have only tea devices at hand, then boldly instead of 1 tbsp. l pour salt in 3 tsp. - the weight of the ingredient will be the same. We hope that this article has become useful for you, and you will remember once and for all how much salt is in a teaspoon and how much is in the dining room. For convenience, we provide a table. It can be printed and hung in the kitchen so that information is always at hand. Then you will not be able to spoil the dishes.
