Lacto-Fermentation Salt by Weight Guide

Salt can weight different amounts, but this guide is going off of an average of 17 g per tbsp of salt. The math might end up looking a bit strange, but that's because grams are more precise than teaspoons or tablespoons. All values are showing in "tablespoons - teaspoons - grams" order.
