How to Convert Teaspoons of Flour to Kilograms
To convert a measurement in teaspoons to a measurement in kilograms, multiply the flour by the following conversion ratio: 0.002604 kilograms/teaspoon.
Since one teaspoon of flour is equal to 0.002604 kilograms, you can use this simple formula to convert:
kilograms = teaspoons × 0.002604
The flour in kilograms is equal to the flour in teaspoons multiplied by 0.002604.
For example, here's how to convert 500 teaspoons to kilograms using the formula above.
kilograms = (500 tsp × 0.002604) = 1.302063 kg
Experts often recommend measuring dry ingredients by weight for accuracy,[1] but some recipes use volume, and not all home cooks own a digital scale. Converting between weight and volume can be tricky because different types of flour vary in density.
The table below can help with the conversion and shows the approximate volume measurement for the weight of various types of flour.

Should You Measure Flour by Weight or Volume?
Most experts agree that dry ingredients like flour should be measured by weight rather than volume, especially in baking. The reason for this is that flours vary slightly in density, so a volume measurement will likely yield an incorrect amount of ingredients. Additionally, the amount that the flour is packed or compressed in the cup or tablespoon will alter the amount of ingredients being added.
For these reasons, a food scale, rather than measuring cups or spoons, is the preferred way to measure flour when cooking. For recipes that call for measurements in volume, professional bakers use a whisk to aerate flour that's been stored in a bag or canister before measuring since flour will settle when stored and weigh heavier even in the same-sized measuring cup.
Teaspoons and kilograms are both units used to measure flour. Keep reading to learn more about each unit of measure.
What Is a Teaspoon?
A teaspoon of flour is equal to 1/3 of a tablespoon. A teaspoon is a measure of flour volume.
The teaspoon is a US customary unit of volume. Teaspoons can be abbreviated as tsp, and are also sometimes abbreviated as t, ts, or tspn. For example, 1 teaspoon can be written as 1 tsp, 1 t, 1 ts, or 1 tspn.

What Is a Kilogram?
One kilogram of flour is equal to 1,000 grams, and there are 2.20462 pounds in one kilogram. A kilogram is a measure of flour weight.
The kilogram, or kilogramme, is the SI base unit for weight and is also a multiple of the gram. In the metric system, "kilo" is the prefix for thousands, or 103. Kilograms can be abbreviated as kg; for example, 1 kilogram can be written as 1 kg.
