Explanation

Use this converter when a recipe gives cornstarch in teaspoons and you need grams. The direct answer is that 1 teaspoon of cornstarch is about 2 grams in this converter.

This is useful for sauces, slurries, baking, and small recipe adjustments where a spoon amount needs to become a repeatable gram weight.

Cornstarch uses a recorded reference of 112 grams per US cup in this dataset. Confidence: high. Source basis: King Arthur weight chart (¼ cup=28g)

Evidence status: reference-recorded. The source note is recorded; this does not certify every preparation or measurement condition. Particle size, aeration, settling, and whether the cup is scooped or spoon-filled can materially change the mass held by the same volume.
