One teaspoon (tsp) of sugar is equivalent to around 4 grams (g). It's important to note that this is an approximate value and the exact amount may vary slightly depending on the specific type and density of sugar, as well as how tightly it's packed in the teaspoon.
Here are some additional points to consider:
-
Nutrition labels: When referring to sugar content in food, nutrition labels typically list the amount of sugar in grams (g).
-
Recipe measurements: Baking and cooking recipes might call for specific amounts of sugar in teaspoons (tsp) or tablespoons (tbsp). These measurements are generally used for convenience, and slight variations in the actual amount won't significantly impact the final outcome of the recipe.
If you need a very precise measurement of sugar for a specific experiment or scientific purpose, it's recommended to use a measuring scale to weigh the sugar in grams.
