How many grams are in a teaspoon?

To be precise, 4.2 grams equals a teaspoon, but the nutrition facts rounds this number down to four grams.

Does 1 tsp equal 5 grams?

In this instance, our original conversion (1 teaspoon = 5 grams) holds true. This is because 1 teaspoon is equal to a volume of 5 mL. And since we know that 1 mL of water is equal to 1 g of water, then we know that 5 mL of water is also equal to 5 g of water, because 1 tsp x 1 g/mL = 5 mL x 1 g/mL = 5 g.
