How much sugar is in one teaspoon of sugar? I found on the internet that a teaspoon holds 5g. Does this mean 1 teaspoon has 5g of sugar? If I put this into say a bottled water the nutrition facts would say 5g sugar?
Thank you.

about 540 granules or 1/3 of a tablespoon or 4 grams which equals 15 calories and has 4 grams of total carbohydrates.this is pure granulated sugar.In a 4 pound bag or 1.81kg there are 454 servings of 1 teaspoon per serving

Yes, approximately.
When comparing volume measurements with mass measurements, you can't make a direct, 1-to-1 comparison unless the density of the thing being measured is the same as water at "STP" (standard temperature and pressure).
Having said that, generally speaking, 1 ounce is = 28.4g and we generally assume that 1 ounce of volume = 1 ounce of mass (true for water at STP). Two tablespoons = 1 ounce. One tablespoon = 0.5 ounces. One teaspoon = 0.33 tablespoons. Therefore, one teaspoon = 1/6 of an ounce or 1/6 of 28.4g which rounds to appx. 5g
So you are approximately correct.

yes. depends what you consider a teaspoon though. you could have it so full so that no sugar falls off but that could be two teaspoons based on their standards

yes, 1 tsp sugar = 5 grams = 16 calories
But putting it into a bottle water will not affect the label already on the water.......

It would be 5g if measured perfectly ... If you are planning to manufacture bottled water, you'd better come up with a more reliable method of measurement.
