* About the conversions in this page
Changing grams to teaspoons (or vice versa) isn't easy because they measure different things: grams measure how heavy something is (mass or weight), while teaspoons measure how much space it takes up ( volume). The trick is, some things weight more for the same amount of space than others. To figure out how many teaspoons of something you have when you know its weight in grams, you need to know how tightly packed it is, like how dense it is. This is called its density, and it could be measured in grams per milliliter or grams per cubic centimeter (g/cm³). Once you know the density, you can figure out how much space the grams take up and how many teaspoons that equals. The same logic applies to other conversions like between ounces and teaspoons. These kinds of conversions could be described as "non-direct" or "non-straightforward."
It's essential to recognize that densities can vary between different brands or even batches of the same ingredient. Thus, precise conversions may require knowing the specific density of the particular ingredient you're working with.
Also, converting between units involves some degree of approximation, and errors can accumulate, especially when converting between units that measure different properties (mass vs. volume). It's essential to be aware of potential inaccuracies in conversions and to double-check calculations when accuracy is crucial.
