How Much Is 10 Grams of Kosher Salt (Morton) in Teaspoons?
10 grams of kosher salt (morton) equals 1.99 tsp. Kosher salt (morton) has a density of 241g per cup. A lighter ingredient like flour (125g/cup) would fill more volume at the same weight, which is why ingredient-specific conversions matter.
Formula and Step-by-Step
- Start with 10 grams of kosher salt (morton)
- 1 cup of kosher salt (morton) = 241g
- 10g ÷ 241g/cup = 0.04 cups × 48 = 1.99 teaspoons
The same formula works for any amount. Multiply (or divide) by the density, then convert units as needed.
Measuring Tip
Always check which salt brand your recipe specifies. Substituting one for another by volume can double or halve the salt content.
