Grams of Salt to Tsp Formula

Use the following relationship to convert between grams of salt and teaspoons, with density chosen by salt type.

\mathrm{tsp} = \frac{\mathrm{grams}}{\rho_{\mathrm{g/tsp}}}
  • US teaspoon = 4.92892 mL
  • US tablespoon = 3 teaspoons
  • Table salt (fine) ≈ 6.0 g/tsp; Pickling/Canning ≈ 6.0 g/tsp
  • Kosher salt — Morton ≈ 4.8 g/tsp; Diamond Crystal ≈ 2.8 g/tsp
  • Sea salt — fine ≈ 5.0 g/tsp; coarse ≈ 4.0 g/tsp
  • oz to g = 28.349523125; lb to g = 453.59237

* Assumes table salt (fine) at 6.0 g per teaspoon. For other salts, divide grams by the appropriate g/tsp. 1 tbsp = 3 tsp; 1 tsp = 4.9289 mL.

How do you convert grams of salt to teaspoons? Divide grams by the grams-per-teaspoon for the salt type (e.g., table salt: tsp = grams ÷ 6.0; Morton: grams ÷ 4.8; Diamond: grams ÷ 2.8).

How do you convert teaspoons of salt to grams? Multiply teaspoons by the grams-per-teaspoon for the selected salt (e.g., grams = tsp × 6.0 for table salt, or × 4.8 for Morton kosher).

Example Problem

Convert 12 grams of Morton kosher salt to US teaspoons.

Use the formula: tsp = grams ÷ (g per tsp).

tsp = 12 ÷ 4.8 = 2.5 tsp
