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:
The flour in kilograms is equal to the flour in teaspoons multiplied by 0.002604.
While most experts suggest measuring dry ingredients by weight for improved precision,[1] not all recipes call for ingredients by weight and when they do we might not all have a scale handy. Because flours vary in density, it might not be immediately clear how to convert between a weight and volume measurement.
The table below can help with the conversion, and shows the approximate volume measurement for various weights of flour, by type.

Should I 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 ingredient. Additionally, the amount that the flour is packed or compressed in the cup or tablespoon will alter the amount of ingredient being added.
For these reasons, a food scale is the preferred way to measure flour when cooking, rather than a cup or tablespoon.
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.
