Dear convert-me.com forum visitors,

Our forum has been available for many years. In September 2014 we decided to switch it to read-only mode. Month after month we saw less posts with questions and answers from real people and more spam posts. We were spending more and more resources cleaning the spam until there were less them 1 legitimate message per 100 spam posts. Then we decided it's time to stop.

All the posts in the forum will be available and searchable. We understand there are a lot of useful information and we aren't going to remove anything. As for the new questions, you can always ask them on convert-me.com FaceBook page

Thank you for being with us and sorry for any inconveniences this could caused.

1 teaspoon = 4.929 ml

The density of salt is 2.165 g/ml

So, 10.67 g NaCl in a teaspoon

As there are three teaspoons to a tablespoon, three times more.

I believe the density figure you used is for a solid block of salt. When ground, the bulk density usually drops as the powder doesn't "pack" perfectly. The USDA website and the nutritional info on my box of table salt seem to agree on about 6 g per teaspoon or 18 g per Tablespoon. The "bulk density" would be around 1.2 g/mL; however, this will vary with the grind.

How many grams are in a teaspoon of salt?

According to the back of my box of salt.

1 gram is about 1/4 teaspoon. (Its really closer to 1/5 teaspoon)

and 1/4 teaspoon of salt contains about 600 mg of sodium.

Hope that helps.
