How Nutritional Yeast Converter Works?
The Nutritional Yeast Converter works by dividing grams of nutritional yeast by 1.6 g per level US teaspoon. Large, airy flakes make nutritional yeast one of the lightest ingredients per spoon.
Choose flakes or powder
The 1.6 g value fits flakes. Powdered nutritional yeast packs heavier per spoon, so weigh 1 tsp of powder first.
Enter grams
Type the weight from the label or recipe, such as 10 g.
Spoon loosely
Spoon flakes in without crushing and level by tilting off the excess.
Nutritional Yeast Converter Formula
The Nutritional Yeast Converter formula is teaspoons = grams of nutritional yeast flakes ÷ 1.6.
tsp = g ÷ 1.6 | 1 tbsp = 4.8 g | 1 US cup ≈ 77 g
- 10 g of nutritional yeast ÷ 1.6 = 6.25 tsp, about 2 tbsp.
- 15 g of nutritional yeast ÷ 4.8 = 3.13 tbsp.
- 2 tbsp of nutritional yeast = 9.6 g.
