A “spoonful” is ambiguous, but typical household measures are:
- 1 level teaspoon (5 ml) of granulated white sugar ≈ 4–4.3 g
- 1 level tablespoon (15 ml) of granulated white sugar ≈ 12–13 g
How this was estimated: bulk granulated sugar has a bulk density ≈ 0.8–0.9 g/ml, so mass = volume (ml) × density (g/ml).
Notes:
- Heaping vs. level spoons, different spoon shapes, or packed (brown) sugar change the mass — variation of 10–25% is common.
- If you need a precise mass for cooking or chemistry, tell me which spoon (teaspoon/tablespoon), whether it’s packed or level, or I can convert a recipe to grams for you.
