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 Raw Sugar Converter Works?
The Raw Sugar Converter works by dividing grams of raw sugar by 4.25 g per level US teaspoon. Raw sugars such as turbinado and demerara have large crystals that leave small gaps in the spoon.
Identify the raw sugar
Turbinado, demerara and "sugar in the raw" share a coarse, golden crystal and similar spoon weight.
Enter grams
Type the weight, such as 10 g for a muffin topping.
Level the large crystals
Sweep the spoon flat and brush off any crystal that rolls above the rim.
Raw Sugar Converter Formula
The Raw Sugar Converter formula is teaspoons = grams of raw sugar ÷ 4.25.
tsp = g ÷ 4.25 | 1 tbsp = 12.75 g | 1 US cup ≈ 204 g
- 5 g of turbinado sugar ÷ 4.25 = 1.18 tsp.
- 10 g of demerara sugar ÷ 4.25 = 2.35 tsp, about 2 ⅓ tsp.
- 1 tbsp of raw sugar = 3 × 4.25 = 12.75 g.

What is Raw Sugar Converter?
The Raw Sugar Converter is a calculator that converts grams of raw cane sugar into teaspoons. Raw sugar is partly refined cane sugar that keeps a thin film of molasses, giving a golden colour and a light caramel taste.
Raw sugar crystals measure 0.8 mm to 1.5 mm, 2 to 3 times larger than granulated crystals. Large crystals stay crunchy in the oven, which makes raw sugar the standard topping for muffins, crumbles and crème brûlée.
What are the uses of Raw Sugar Converter?
There are 4 main uses of the Raw Sugar Converter: crunchy toppings, coffee and tea, crème brûlée, and pie crusts.
Crunchy toppings
A dozen muffins take 15 g of turbinado sugar, about 3 ½ tsp.
Coffee and tea
A brown sugar packet in cafés holds 4 g to 5 g, about 1 tsp.
Crème brûlée
Each ramekin needs a 5 g layer of demerara for the torched top.
Pie crusts
Bakers sprinkle 8 g of raw sugar over an egg-washed crust, about 1 ⅞ tsp.
Raw Sugar Converter Measuring Tips
- Large golden crystals pack differently than refined white sugar.
- Ideal for finishing crusts and sweetening hot beverages.
