US or metric teaspoons?

A US teaspoon is 4.93 ml and a metric one is exactly 5 ml. This page uses US, which is what most recipes online mean. The chart shows both.

Recipes online almost always mean the US teaspoon of 4.93 ml. On US medicine and nutrition labels a teaspoon is rounded to exactly 5 ml (21 CFR 101.9), the same as a metric teaspoon, so both are here to check.

Where this number comes from

This factor is exact, not rounded. NIST lists the US teaspoon as 4.92892159375 ml — exactly 1/768 of a US gallon (3.785411784 L).
