How Much Is a Smidgen of Salt?
A smidgen is a very small unit used in cooking, most often used to measure salt and seasonings. One smidgen is equal to 1/2 of a pinch, which is the amount of seasoning that you can "pinch" between your thumb and finger. Although the smidgen is considered a rough measurement, it is generally accepted to be equal to 1/32 of a teaspoon.
How to Convert Smidgens of Salt
To convert smidgens to another salt measurement, you need to multiply the value by a conversion factor. A conversion factor is a numerical value used to change the units of a measurement without changing the value.[1]
You can find the conversion factors for smidgens in the conversion table below.
Then, multiply the salt measurement by the conversion factor to find the equivalent value in the desired unit of measurement.
smidgens × conversion factor = result
You can also use a calculator, such as one of the converters below, for the conversion.
