}Explanation
Convert grams of butter (unsalted) to teaspoons with the teaspoon measure derived from the same ingredient density.
Since 1 teaspoon is 1/48 of a US cup, spoon and cup estimates use the same basis. That is especially useful for baking, pie crusts, traditional pastry, and savory doughs where the ingredient may be solid in the jar but measured as a liquid volume. Butter (Unsalted) changes behavior a lot between solid and melted states, so the page keeps one liquid-state basis instead of mixing scooped solids with poured volume.
