one teaspoon of dextrose equals how many grams?

I know this isn't a direct conversion, but you chemistry buffs probably know it easily. Heck, I imagine most people just know it anyway. I assumed it to be about 15grams or so.
Thanks

I thought a level teaspoon was 5 grams...

 

[cwc73]

I dunno. That's why I'm asking. I had one that was actually overwhelming the spoon. Oh well, anyone to verify this?

A teaspoon would be equivalent to ~4 grams or about 15 calories.

Thanks. I'm making an excel spreadsheet for carbs, prot, fat, and cals. It is pretty crude, but I suspose it will get the job done until I can find something better.
