15 grams is approximately 1.13 teaspoons.
This conversion is based on the fact that 1 teaspoon of a typical substance like water weighs about 5 grams. So, dividing 15 grams by 5 gives roughly 3 teaspoons, but because density varies with different ingredients, the exact teaspoon measurement can change depending on the material.
Conversion Result
15 g equals about 1.13 teaspoons.

Conversion Formula
The formula to convert grams to teaspoons multiplies the weight in grams by a conversion factor of approximately 0.202884. This factor is derived from the fact that 1 teaspoon of water weighs about 5 grams, so dividing 1 by 5 gives 0.2. Small variations occur with different substances, but this is standard for water-like liquids.
For example, if you have 15 grams, multiplying 15 by 0.202884 yields about 3.043 teaspoons. The calculation: 15 g × 0.202884 = 3.043. This method makes it easy to quickly estimate teaspoons for any weight in grams.
Conversion Example
- Convert 10 grams:
- Multiply 10 by 0.202884
- 10 × 0.202884 = 2.02884
- Result: approximately 2.03 teaspoons
- Convert 20 grams:
- 20 × 0.202884 = 4.05768
- Result: about 4.06 teaspoons
- Convert 5 grams:
- 5 × 0.202884 = 1.01442
- Result: roughly 1.01 teaspoons
- Convert 30 grams:
- 30 × 0.202884 = 6.08652
- Result: near 6.09 teaspoons

Conversion Definitions
g: Gram is a metric unit of mass equal to one-thousandth of a kilogram, used to measure weight of solids and powders. It is a standard unit in the metric system, widely used in cooking, science, and commerce for precise measurement.
Teaspoons: Teaspoons are small volume units used mainly in cooking and medicine, typically measuring about 4.9 to 5 milliliters. They are used to quantify small quantities of ingredients, especially liquids and powders.
Conversion FAQs
Can I use this conversion for all ingredients?
No, because the weight-to-volume ratio varies based on the ingredient’s density. For example, 1 teaspoon of sugar weighs less than 1 teaspoon of flour. The provided conversion is most accurate for water and similar liquids.
Why does the conversion factor differ from other sources?
Different sources may use slightly different conversion factors based on ingredient density or measurement standards. The value 0.202884 is based on water’s density, but other ingredients can deviate, so always check for specific ingredients when precise measurement is needed.
Is the conversion accurate for small or large quantities?
For small quantities like grams less than 10, the approximation is quite close. For larger amounts, minor differences accumulate, but the formula remains a good estimate unless high precision is required for scientific or culinary purposes.
How to adjust the conversion for dry ingredients like flour or sugar?
Dry ingredients have different densities, so their grams-to-teaspoons conversion factors vary. Use specific charts for each ingredient or measure by weight directly for more accuracy, as the general water-based conversion may not be precise.
