Explanation
This page converts grams of table salt into teaspoons using the teaspoon measure tied to the same ingredient density. Since 1 teaspoon is 1/48 of a US cup, spoon and cup estimates stay on the same basis.
That is useful when a recipe is written by weight but your kitchen workflow still uses spoons. 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. Table 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.
