Table salt substitutes

Tested swaps for table salt, with ratios and sources.

← Table salt converter

  • 1 tsp table salt = 1½ tsp Morton kosher salt = 2 tsp Diamond Crystal kosher salt (America's Test Kitchen)
    Kosher salt flakes are less dense by volume than fine table salt. Diamond Crystal is the lightest; Morton sits between. Weighing salt eliminates the conversion.

  • 1 tsp table salt = 1 tsp fine sea salt (America's Test Kitchen)
    Equivalent by volume when grain size is similar; sea salt may carry trace mineral flavor.

Measure substitutes by weight where you can. The Table salt converter gives the grams.

Note: our substitutions are direct, not chained — we don't recommend substituting a substitute.
