14 grams is approximately 2.8 teaspoons.
This conversion is based on the fact that 1 gram of a typical ingredient like sugar equals about 0.2 teaspoons. Multiplying 14 grams by 0.2 gives the result, showing how weight relates to volume for such ingredients.
Conversion Process
The process involves multiplying the weight in grams by a conversion factor that links grams to teaspoons. Since 1 gram roughly equals 0.2 teaspoons for many dry ingredients, the formula is grams x 0.2 = teaspoons. This works because the conversion factor accounts for density differences.

Conversion Formula
The formula to convert grams into teaspoons uses a conversion factor, which for many ingredients is about 0.2. This means, to find teaspoons, multiply grams by 0.2. For example, 14 grams times 0.2 equals 2.8 teaspoons, a simple multiplication process.
Conversion Example
- Convert 20 grams to teaspoons:
- Multiply 20 by 0.2
- 20 x 0.2 = 4
- Result: 20 grams equals 4 teaspoons
- Convert 5 grams to teaspoons:
- Multiply 5 by 0.2
- 5 x 0.2 = 1
- Result: 5 grams equals 1 teaspoon
- Convert 30 grams to teaspoons:
- Multiply 30 by 0.2
- 30 x 0.2 = 6
- Result: 30 grams equals 6 teaspoons

Conversion Definitions
Grams: A metric unit of mass used globally to measure weight of ingredients and objects, based on the kilogram. It provides a precise way to quantify substances, especially in cooking and scientific contexts.
Teaspoons: A small kitchen utensil volume measurement, approximately 5 milliliters, used to measure small quantities of ingredients like spices or liquids in recipes. Conversion to grams depends on ingredient density.
Conversion FAQs
Why does the number of teaspoons vary for different ingredients?
Because ingredients have different densities, the volume of a specific weight varies. For example, 14 grams of sugar may occupy a different volume than 14 grams of flour, leading to different teaspoon measurements.
Can I use a standard teaspoon for all ingredients?
Standard teaspoons measure volume, not weight. For accurate conversions, especially for dry ingredients, knowing the density helps. Using a scale is better for precise measurement, but teaspoons are convenient for general use.
Is there a universal conversion factor for grams to teaspoons?
No, because the conversion factor depends on the ingredient’s density. For sugar, it’s about 0.2, but for liquids or powders, this number varies. Always check specific ingredient conversions for best precision.
How do I convert grams to teaspoons for liquids?
For liquids, since volume is directly measured, 1 gram of water equals approximately 0.2 teaspoons. But for other liquids with different densities, this number might change slightly, so refer to specific density data.
What’s the best way to convert grams to teaspoons at home?
Use a kitchen scale to weigh your ingredients in grams, then multiply by the ingredient-specific conversion factor (like 0.2 for sugar). For quick estimates, the formula and chart can help, but precision requires measurement tools.
