Why baking soda spoon weights vary
Baking soda is a fine powder, so a rounded or packed spoon can hold noticeably more than a level spoon. The converter uses 4.6 grams per level teaspoon as a practical kitchen estimate.
For leavening, small differences matter. If a recipe gives grams, weighing is best; if it gives teaspoons, use a level measuring spoon and scrape it flat.
