14 grams converts to approximately 2.8 teaspoons.
This conversion is based on the fact that 1 gram of a substance, like water or similar, roughly equals 0.2 teaspoons. Therefore, multiplying 14 grams by 0.2 gives the result in teaspoons, giving an easy way to switch between weights and volume measurements.

Conversion Formula
The formula to convert grams to teaspoons involves multiplying the weight in grams by 0.2 because, on average, 1 gram equals about 0.2 teaspoons for many common substances. For example, if you have 14 grams, multiply 14 by 0.2: 14 x 0.2 = 2.8 teaspoons. This works because volume measurements like teaspoons depend on the density of the material, but for water and similar liquids, this approximation is accurate enough for cooking and general use.
Conversion Example
- Example 1: Convert 20 grams to teaspoons.
- Multiply 20 by 0.2.
- 20 x 0.2 = 4 teaspoons.
- So, 20 grams equals approximately 4 teaspoons.
- Example 2: Convert 50 grams to teaspoons.
- Calculate 50 x 0.2.
- 50 x 0.2 = 10 teaspoons.
- Thus, 50 grams is about 10 teaspoons.
- Example 3: Convert 7 grams to teaspoons.
- Multiply 7 by 0.2.
- 7 x 0.2 = 1.4 teaspoons.
- Therefore, 7 grams equals roughly 1.4 teaspoons.

Conversion Definitions
Grams
Grams are metric units measuring weight or mass, used globally for precise measurement of ingredients, objects, or substances, with 1,000 grams equaling one kilogram, enabling standardization in cooking, science, and commerce.
Teaspoons
Teaspoons are volume units, primarily used in cooking to measure small quantities of ingredients. One teaspoon equals about 4.93 milliliters, but in common recipes, rounded to 5 milliliters for simplicity.
Conversion FAQs
Can I use this conversion for all types of ingredients?
No, because different substances have varying densities. While water and similar liquids are close to the 1 gram to 0.2 teaspoons ratio, dry ingredients like flour or sugar might need different conversion factors for more accuracy.
Does the conversion change if the ingredient is denser or lighter?
Yes, the conversion factor varies with density. For denser substances, a gram might be less volume in teaspoons, while lighter substances could occupy more volume per gram, meaning the 0.2 factor is an approximation mainly for liquids like water.
How precise is the 0.2 conversion factor for cooking purposes?
For most recipes, the 0.2 factor provides a sufficiently accurate estimate, especially in baking and cooking. However, for scientific or precise measurements, specific densities should be used for each ingredient to get exact conversions.
