Na fraction in NaCl ≈ 23/58.44 ≈ 0.393
Sodium (mg) = Salt (g) × NaFraction × 1000
Salt (g) = Sodium (mg) / (NaFraction × 1000)
Teaspoon grams depend on salt type (density). Examples used:
Table (iodized) ≈ 6 g/tsp; Fine sea ≈ 5 g/tsp; Coarse/Kosher ≈ 3–5 g/tsp; Rock ≈ 5 g/tsp; Low-sodium mix (50% NaCl) ≈ 6 g/tsp but NaFraction ≈ 0.1965.
