14 grams is approximately 2.8 teaspoons. This conversion helps understand how much volume 14 grams of a substance occupies in teaspoons.
Since 1 gram of water roughly equals 0.24 teaspoons, multiplying 14 grams by this factor gives the volume in teaspoons: 14 x 0.24 = 3.36, but adjusting for density of different ingredients, approximately 2.8 teaspoons for standard measures.
Conversion Result
14 grams is roughly equivalent to 2.8 teaspoons based on typical density values for similar substances.

Conversion Formula
The formula for converting grams to teaspoons is multiplying the grams by 0.24 because 1 gram of water or similar substances equals approximately 0.24 teaspoons. For example, for 14 grams: 14 x 0.24 = 3.36 teaspoons.
This works because the conversion factor is based on the density of water, where volume and weight relate through this factor. Different ingredients, like flour or sugar, may need different factors due to their densities.
Conversion Example
- Convert 20 grams to teaspoons:
- Multiply 20 by 0.24
- 20 x 0.24 = 4.8 teaspoons
- This shows 20 grams equals about 4.8 teaspoons.
- Convert 50 grams to teaspoons:
- 50 x 0.24 = 12 teaspoons
- Thus, 50 grams is roughly 12 teaspoons.
- Convert 5 grams to teaspoons:
- 5 x 0.24 = 1.2 teaspoons
- So, 5 grams equals about 1.2 teaspoons.

Conversion Definitions
Grams are a metric unit of mass used to measure the weight of substances, often in cooking or science. They provide a precise way to quantify ingredients, especially when accuracy matters for recipes or experiments.
Teaspoons are a volume measurement primarily used in cooking, typically equal to about 4.9 milliliters. They are common for measuring small quantities of ingredients like spices, liquids, or powders.
Conversion FAQs
Can I use this conversion for all ingredients?
No, because different ingredients have different densities. The factor of 0.24 teaspoons per gram applies mainly to water or similar substances. Dry ingredients like flour or sugar may require different conversion factors for accurate results.
Why does the conversion factor vary for different ingredients?
Because the density of ingredients varies, so the volume occupied by a gram of one substance differs from another. For example, a gram of flour takes up more space than a gram of sugar, affecting teaspoons measurement.
How precise is the conversion from grams to teaspoons?
The conversion provides an estimate based on average density values. For precise cooking or scientific purposes, measuring by weight or using ingredient-specific conversion factors is recommended to avoid errors.
Can I convert negative grams into teaspoons?
In theory, negative grams don’t make sense physically, but mathematically, you can multiply negative values by 0.24 for a volume estimate. Practically, negative measurements are not applicable in real-world scenarios.
What is the best way to convert grams to teaspoons for baking?
Use ingredient-specific conversion factors or weigh ingredients with a kitchen scale. For general purposes, multiplying grams by 0.24 provides a good approximation for water-like ingredients.
