Teaspoon (metric)

A metric teaspoon is a unit of volume in the metric system. It is defined as 5 milliliters (mL). It is commonly used in cooking and food preparation to measure both liquid and dry ingredients.

Origin:

The metric teaspoon is derived from the liter, which is the base unit of volume in the metric system. The metric teaspoon was introduced to provide a convenient unit for measuring smaller volumes, particularly in cooking and food preparation. It is widely used in countries that have adopted the metric system.

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.

Origin:

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.
