2.4 g1 teaspoon
7 g1 tablespoon
USDA shredded cheddar, about 113 g per cup, gives about 2.4 g per tsp.
Instead of Cheddar cheese
Processed cheeseUse the same weight; grate or slice. Melts more smoothly but is saltier, so reduce added salt.
CheeseUse the same weight; choose a firm melting cheese and grate. Flavour varies with the cheese.
PaneerUse the same weight; grate or crumble. It will not melt like cheddar and is less salty; best where cheese is a filling rather than a melt.
