Tag: Understanding sugar

According to Michigan State University Extension, one level teaspoon of granulated white sugar is equivalent to approximately 4 grams. This means 5 grams is actually slightly more than one teaspoon, but the rounding on many nutrition labels can be misleading.

According to nutritional labels, one teaspoon of granulated sugar contains approximately 4 grams, meaning that 1g of sugar is not a teaspoon, but rather about one-quarter of that volume. This common misconception highlights the importance of understanding the difference between volume and weight when measuring ingredients and deciphering nutritional information.
