Tag: Sodium per teaspoon

According to The Nutrition Source, there are roughly 1,120 mg of sodium in 1 tsp of Diamond Crystal Kosher Salt. The volume of this salt contains less sodium compared to other salts, which can dramatically affect cooking and seasoning results.

A teaspoon of coarse pink Himalayan salt contains about 1,680 milligrams of sodium due to its larger crystal size, which is significantly less by volume than the approximately 2,360 milligrams found in a teaspoon of fine table salt. This surprising fact reveals that the total sodium depends heavily on the grain size, not just the salt type.
