Peggy I am trying to figue out how many teaspoons of salt would be in a 1,500 mg suggested serving? I find all answers except the one I need. Can you help??? Thanks.
Hi Peggy, 1500 mg of salt is just a bit more than 1/2 teaspoon of salt.
I hope this helps! Hi,in and out of websites and really need some help with my, nutrition facts, for my jerky product.Very simple recipe and I have figured I use 1/4 teaspoon of salt in every 2oz bag.Just can't figure the percentage,is it by the calories,which would be 232 per serving or grams which would be 46 grams.Hope you can help.Thanks Sorry Jonathan, but I really have no idea how to answer your question! Carmen How do I measure 1/2 pound butter? Hi Carmen, 225 grams Cheers, Joanie While trying to figure out how much salt is in a pound of butter, my label states 90 mg. per 1 Tablespoon so 1#=452 grams of salt. Then you wrote 1 tsp.=2300 mg. sodium x3=6900 mg per Tablespoon. Help!
Hi Joanie, According to the American Heart Association: 1 teaspoon SALT has 2,300 mg sodium According to the Nutrition Facts on my container of butter: 1 Tablespoon of BUTTER has 95 mg of sodium I hope this helps! gloria chandler my diet gives me 40g of cereal. How do I measure this,what I have done is 4 dessertful which I hope measure 40 grams. can you help me with this question please. I know there is a simple answer Hi Gloria, I think your best best might be to invest in a small food scale. Good Luck, Andrea Arquitt The answer to Jonathan's question about salt in his recipe--for labeling purposes the amount of sodium is listed as a percent of daily reccomdations which is 2300 mg/d for adults. Sodium is 39% of the weight of salt (sodium chloride). So you convert the measure of salt into milligrams of salt and then calculate the sodium content. One teaspoon is approximately 5 grams or 5000 milligrams. Diana how do i mesure 3/4 teaspoon of salt
