Facts about Teaspoon
Basic facts: Unit of volume based on an item of cutlery is known as a teaspoon [symbol: tsp]. The United States customary teaspoon is equivalent to precisely 4.928922 mL. As a unit of culinary measure, the metric teaspoon is equivalent to 5 mL. The size of teaspoons ranges from approximately 2.5 to 7.3 mL [0.088 to 0.257 imp fl oz; 0.085 to 0.247 US fl oz].
History: The teaspoon was initially widely used as a unit of apothecaries’ measure and was equivalent to 1 fluid dram [or drachm], 1/4 of a tablespoon, or 1/8 of a fluid ounce. The apothecaries’ teaspoon was officially known by the Latin “cochleare minus” [cochl. min.] in order to differentiate it from the tablespoon or “cochleare majus” [cochl. maj.]. The older definition of the teaspoon differs from the definitions of the teaspoon used nowadays; teaspoon was smaller back then. This was due to tea’s costliness in 1660s England, which resulted in smaller teacups and teaspoons. In 1710, when England began importing tea from China, it reduced the cost of tea, therefore the size of teacups and teaspoons grew, and by the 1730s, became 1/3 the size of a tablespoon. The same size ratio is used today in both the metric and US customary teaspoons [however, the actual volumes differ].
Use: The teaspoon is widely used in cooking in specific countries, as well as for measuring medical prescriptions.
