what is 5 grams equal to in the kitchen?

In the kitchen:

1 teaspoon = 5 mL

1 tablespoon = 15 mL

1 cup = 8 fl oz = 237 mL

All measures are approximate, of course.

Obviously, You cannot measure weight in tablespoons etc. You can only measure approximate volume. For example, 1 teaspoon of some heavy material would weigh more than 5 grams. This is why You need a kitchen scale for weighing. The only material where 5 mL = 5 g is water.

RE:

like in cooking methods, a teaspoon, tablespoon? cup

a teaspoon is a measure of capacity not mass

the amount of mass that can fit in a teaspoon or a table spoon or a cup depends on density

therefore there is no universal conversion rate between grams and teaspoons

but heres an example, 5 grams of sugar = 1.19 teaspoons

5 grams is approx one teaspoon. 5 mL (one teaspoon) of water weighs 5 grams, so solid material may be slightly less than a teaspoon but it is close enough.

Depends what you're measuring of course, but I'd say it's in the neighbourhood of a tablespoon.
