Why Grams to Teaspoon Differs by Ingredient
A teaspoon is a unit of volume (~4.93 mL), whereas a gram is a unit of mass/weight. Therefore, 1 tsp of dense table salt weighs ~5.7g, whereas 1 tsp of airy powdered flour weighs only ~2.6g.

How Coconut Sugar Converter Works?
The Coconut Sugar Converter works by dividing grams of coconut sugar by 4.0 g per level US teaspoon. Coconut sugar has irregular, porous granules, so a teaspoon weighs 4% less than granulated sugar.
Loosen the granules
Coconut sugar absorbs moisture and clumps. Break clumps with a fork before measuring.
Enter grams
Type the weight from the recipe, such as 40 g for a batch of energy balls.
Scoop and level
Scoop without packing and level the spoon. Coconut sugar measures like granulated sugar, not like packed brown sugar.
Coconut Sugar Converter Formula
The Coconut Sugar Converter formula is teaspoons = grams of coconut sugar ÷ 4.0.
tsp = g ÷ 4.0 | 1 tbsp = 12 g | 1 US cup ≈ 192 g
- 20 g of coconut sugar ÷ 4 = 5 tsp (1 tbsp + 2 tsp).
- 6 g of coconut sugar ÷ 4 = 1 ½ tsp.
- Replacing 200 g of white sugar by weight needs 200 g of coconut sugar, or 50 tsp (1 cup + 2 tsp).

What is Coconut Sugar Converter?
The Coconut Sugar Converter is a calculator that converts grams of coconut sugar into teaspoons and back. Coconut sugar comes from the boiled and dried sap of coconut palm flower buds.
Coconut sugar is about 70–80% sucrose and tastes of caramel and toffee. Cooks swap coconut sugar for white or brown sugar 1:1 by weight. By volume the swap runs 4% short against white sugar, so weighing or converting gives a closer match.
What are the uses of Coconut Sugar Converter?
