How many grams is one teaspoon of table salt?

1 teaspoon of table salt ≈ 5.69 g

One teaspoon of table salt weighs about 5.69 grams and one tablespoon is about 17.06 grams, so one teaspoon comes out to roughly 5.69 grams. Table salt is fine and heavy — one level teaspoon weighs about 5.7 grams. Kosher salt weighs less.

Small spoon amounts are where weighing has the biggest payoff: tiny errors compound in baking. If your scale reads in 1-gram steps you can measure table salt directly. (For reference, one US cup is 273 g.)
