Seasoning by weight but thinking in spoons? Convert grams to US teaspoons — essential for salt, where 1 tsp can swing a whole dish.
Grams to tsp for salt, sugar, spices, and powders.
tsp = grams ÷ (grams per cup ÷ 48)
| Symbol | Meaning |
|---|---|
| g/tsp | Grams per teaspoon = (grams per cup) ÷ 48 |
5 g table salt → 5 ÷ 5.6875 ≈ 0.88 tsp. 5 g sugar → 5 ÷ 4.1667 = 1.2 tsp.
