How Fine Sea Salt Converter Works?
The Fine Sea Salt Converter works by dividing grams of fine sea salt by 5.5 g per level US teaspoon. Fine sea salt has slightly irregular crystals and weighs 3% less per spoon than table salt.
Confirm the grind
Check that the jar says "fine". Fine sea salt pours like table salt and fits the 5.5 g value.
Enter grams
Type the weight, such as 4 g for a salad dressing.
Level the spoon
Fill the spoon with sea salt and level the top. Moist sea salt clumps, so break clumps before measuring.
Fine Sea Salt Converter Formula
The Fine Sea Salt Converter formula is teaspoons = grams of fine sea salt ÷ 5.5.
tsp = g ÷ 5.5 | 1 tbsp = 16.5 g | sodium ≈ 2,160 mg per tsp
- 4 g of fine sea salt ÷ 5.5 = 0.73 tsp, about ¾ tsp.
- 12 g of fine sea salt ÷ 5.5 = 2.18 tsp, about 2 ¼ tsp.
- ½ tsp of fine sea salt × 5.5 = 2.75 g.
