1 tsp paprika in grams
1 tsp of paprika = 2.25 grams · 4.93 ml · 0.08 oz
That is one teaspoon of paprika, scooped and levelled with the back of a knife. A full US cup of paprika weighs 108 g and holds 48 teaspoons, so 1 tsp comes to 2.25 g. Use the converter for any other amount.
Based on a measured density of 108 g per US cup (236.6 ml), spooned and levelled rather than dipped. Last reviewed .
How 1 tsp of paprika works out
A US teaspoon is 1/48 of a cup, a third of a tablespoon, so take the weight of a cup of paprika and multiply: 108 × 0.021 = 2.25 g. By volume that is 4.93 ml, the same in the US, UK, Canada and New Zealand.
Australia is the exception: an Australian tablespoon holds 20 ml, not 15, though Australian teaspoons are the same 5 ml as everywhere else. Heaped spoons are not a measure at all; a heaped spoonful can hold half as much again.
Tip: Sweet, smoked and hot paprika are not interchangeable — check which a recipe means, as smoked paprika in particular will dominate a dish.
