Table Salt (Fine): How Many Grams in a Teaspoon?

By Fidamen-Chefsolver Team | Reviewed by Ugo Candido | Updated

Salt is the most dangerous ingredient to convert by volume. Due to crystal size, 1 tablespoon of Table Salt weighs TWICE as much as 1 tablespoon of Kosher salt (Diamond Crystal). Using a volume spoon without knowing the specific salt type can ruin a dish instantly. Weight is the universal equalizer.
