Convert Cup (US) to Teaspoon (US)
Cup (US)
The US cup is a unit of volume in the U.S. customary system. It is equal to 1/16th of a US gallon, or 1/4th of a US quart, which is equivalent to 8 fluid ounces or approximately 0.236588 liters. It is commonly used in cooking and nutrition, particularly in recipes and food packaging.
The US cup has its origins in the British system, where cups were used as a standard measurement for liquids. However, the US cup, as it is known today, was standardized in the 19th century to be 1/16th of a US gallon or 8 fluid ounces. This standard was established to provide a consistent measurement for both liquid and dry ingredients, especially in cooking and food preparation. Despite the global adoption of the metric system, the US cup continues to be widely used in the United States for recipes, food labeling, and nutritional information.
Teaspoon (US)
The US teaspoon is a unit of volume in the U.S. customary system. It is equal to 1/3rd of a US tablespoon or 1/48th of a US cup. One US teaspoon is approximately 4.92892 milliliters (mL). It is commonly used in cooking, especially for measuring small quantities of liquid or dry ingredients, such as spices or extracts.
The US teaspoon originated from the traditional use of teaspoons in everyday life, initially as a simple tool for eating and measuring small amounts of liquid or powder. The standardization of the US teaspoon came with the development of the U.S. customary system. The teaspoon was officially defined to be 4.92892 milliliters to create uniformity in recipes and food preparation. This allowed for greater consistency in measurements, particularly in cooking. Despite the metric system's prevalence in many countries, the US teaspoon continues to be widely used in the United States for recipes and food labeling.
