How many grams in a teaspoon and tablespoon

Sometimes it is more convenient to measure small amounts of certain ingredients with a spoon, especially if there are no kitchen scales. You just need to know how many grams of this substance are contained in a spoon. It should be understood that this method will not provide absolute accuracy, but in culinary recipes, minor inaccuracies do not matter and are quite permissible.

Important! If the recipe calls for a tablespoon of product, it means to scoop with a small mound above the edges. If it says level, it means the substance is to be scooped level with the edges of the spoon.

Standard volume of spoons:

• teaspoon - 5 ml;
• dessert spoon - 10 ml;
• tablespoon - 15 ml.

The weight of the product will equal the volume if it concerns water and liquids of the same density. To determine the weight of different products with a spoon, for example, sugar, salt, flour – you need to know how many grams of these products are contained in the spoon.
