To convert 500mg of turmeric to teaspoons, we need to know the density of turmeric. Turmeric powder has a density of about 0.6 g/ml. Since 1 ml is approximately equal to 0.2 teaspoons, we can calculate that 500mg of turmeric is equal to 0.833 teaspoons (500mg / 1000 = 0.5g, 0.5g / 0.6g/ml = 0.833 ml, 0.833 ml x 0.2 tsp/ml = 0.167 tsp).
About 4 grams.
Approximately a level teaspoon.
Typically, there are about 2.6 grams of ground turmeric in a teaspoon. Curcumin is the active compound in turmeric, making up about 3-5% of its total weight. So, there would be roughly 0.08-0.13 grams of curcumin in a teaspoon of ground turmeric.
That very much depends on what you are putting on the spoon... But whatever substance it is, 500mg is probably a lot less than one teaspoon!

Oh, dude, you're asking the real important questions now! So, technically, there are about 2.6 grams of turmeric in a teaspoon. But hey, who's really measuring that precisely when you're sprinkling it into your curry, right? Just go with a generous sprinkle and call it a day.

This is dependent on how heavy turmeric is. Most powdered spices weigh about 22.7 grams (4/5 ounce) per cubic inch. More or less. A teaspoon is 0.30 cubic inches in US measure (slightly less in imperial measure) So a teaspoon of most spices weighs about 7 grams more or less, or 7000 mg. To be sure, on the container is a gram weight. Measure out the turmeric in teaspoons and divide that amount from the weight.
