}Explanation
Convert grams of salt to teaspoons with the teaspoon measure derived from the same ingredient density.
Since 1 teaspoon is 1/48 of a US cup, spoon and cup estimates use the same basis. That is especially useful for seasoning, brines, curing mixes, and baking recipes where salt type changes the weight behind the same spoon or cup measure. Salt can vary with crystal size and how tightly it settles, so fine, coarse, and kosher salts should not be treated as interchangeable by volume.
