Teaspoons = grams × 48 ÷ grams per US cup
A US customary cup contains 48 teaspoons, and one tablespoon contains three teaspoons. This makes teaspoons useful for small remainders after a larger gram amount has been converted to cups or tablespoons.

The result assumes a level measuring teaspoon. Household eating spoons are not standardized and should not replace proper measuring spoons.
