How many teaspoons is 7 grams of table salt?
Answer
One US teaspoon (4.93 ml) of table salt weighs 6.08 grams, from USDA FoodData Central, SR Legacy entry 173468 “Salt, table”, portion “1 cup” = 292 grams, and 1 US cup = 48 US teaspoons. In kitchen measures that is just over 1 1/8 teaspoons.
7 grams of table salt equals 1.15 US teaspoons; the way back, from teaspoons to grams, is the Teaspoons to Grams converter.
The same 7 grams of table salt is 0.024 US cups or 0.38 US tablespoons.
This is the level US teaspoon of 4.93 ml. The metric teaspoon of 5 ml is 1.4 % larger, so the same weight fills 1.13 teaspoons of that size.
How 7 grams of table salt was converted to teaspoons
A teaspoon is a volume, so its weight depends on the ingredient. One US teaspoon of table salt weighs 6.08 grams (six point zero eight), so divide 7 by (292 ÷ 48).
7 g ÷ (292 ÷ 48) g
≈1.15 teaspoons
(one point one five teaspoons)
The weight of the teaspoon comes from USDA FoodData Central, SR Legacy entry 173468 “Salt, table”, portion “1 cup” = 292 grams, and 1 US cup = 48 US teaspoons. Scooped ingredients vary with how they are filled — spooned in lightly, a teaspoon weighs less; packed down, more — so for baking a kitchen scale is the exact tool and this figure the standard reference.

The other way round: how many grams in a teaspoon
This page starts from grams and answers in teaspoons. The opposite question — how many grams a recipe’s teaspoons weigh, fractions like 1/2 and 2 1/2 included — is what the teaspoons to grams converter is for. Both read the same USDA weights, so their numbers agree: one US teaspoon of table salt is 6.08 grams there and here.
