Conversor de Grama para Colher de Chá

This converter transforms grams of cooking ingredients into teaspoons, considering the density of the food. The standard relationship adopted is 1 tablespoon (tbsp) = 3 teaspoons (tsp). The calculation divides the mass in grams by the ingredient's density (g/cc), resulting in volume in cc, which is then converted to teaspoons. For example, for water (density 1 g/cc), 15 grams equals 5 teaspoons (15 / 1 = 15 cc; 15 cc / 3 = 5 tsp). The converter does this automatically.

Use this tool when you need to measure ingredients with teaspoons but the recipe provides grams. It is useful for flours, sugars, butter, yeast, and others. Remember that density varies: wheat flour is about 0.53 g/cc, refined sugar 0.85 g/cc, salt 1.2 g/cc. For liquids like water or milk, density is close to 1 g/cc. The converter includes a list of common densities for convenience.

Caution: density may vary with compaction (sifted vs. packed flour). For accurate results, use the density indicated on the package or reliable tables. This converter is an approximation; for recipes requiring precision (like baking), prefer a scale. Also, the equivalence 1 tbsp = 3 tsp is standard in Brazil, but may differ in other countries.
