}Explanation
This conversion applies to level US teaspoons of dry granulated white sugar. It does not use the same factor as powdered sugar, packed brown sugar, sugar substitutes, or coarse decorating crystals.
Multiply teaspoons by about 4.1 grams. The spoon factor stays aligned with the 198-gram cup basis used by the related granulated-sugar pages.
Granulated Sugar uses a recorded reference of 198 grams per US cup in this dataset. Confidence: high. Source basis: King Arthur weight chart
