Convert grams to teaspoons (and back) — pick your ingredient, because grams-to-spoons depends on density. Water, flour, sugar, honey and more included.
Grams ↔ spoons/cups has no single answer without an ingredient: a spoon of honey weighs nearly 3× a spoon of flour. Densities below are typical averages for level US spoons.

The result, the per-unit rate and the full unit family are shown together, live as you type.
The reference table covers the values people look up most, so you can sanity-check at a glance.
Formula & worked example
10 g of granulated sugar = about 2.4 teaspoons, but 10 g of flour = about 3.8 teaspoons — same weight, different volume, because flour is lighter per spoon.
Limitations — read this before you rely on it
There is no single grams-to-teaspoons answer without an ingredient: densities are typical averages for level US teaspoons, and how firmly you pack a spoon (especially flour and brown sugar) changes the result. For baking precision, weigh ingredients instead.
Frequently asked questions
It depends on the ingredient: about 4.2 g of sugar, 2.6 g of flour, 5 g of salt and 7 g of honey per level US teaspoon.
About 2.4 teaspoons of granulated sugar.
Because a teaspoon measures volume, not weight — a spoon of honey weighs nearly three times a spoon of flour.
Only roughly, for water-like liquids (1 tsp water = 4.93 g). For dry ingredients it is usually less.
Nearly: a US teaspoon is 4.929 ml and a metric teaspoon is exactly 5 ml — a 1.4% difference.
