I just wanted a convenient searchable reference for this figure. How much sodium per gram of salt?
393.4 mg of sodium in 1 g (gram) salt.
according to http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sodium_chloride
That figure is for _pure_ sodium chloride. Additives, such as anti-caking ingredients, will alter it slightly. "Sea salt" and various "gourmet" salts may also include minerals, and may have included moisture, both of which would render a lower portion of sodium (and chloride). 393.4 would then be a maximum figure.
