A teaspoon is much larger than a dash, smidgen or pinch Think of it this way, put a teaspoon of salt in a small dish, now take a pinch of salt (a pinch is what you can pick up between finger and thumb) you would leave most of the salt in the dish, a dash and a smidgen are about the same as a pinch.
Dash, pinch and speck are nebulous terms. They can be basically whatever you like.
== == A dash is considered by most to be 1/8th teaspoon. (a pinch is typically 1/2 of a dash) == == a few times more than a pinch a little more than a pinch a little more than a pinch
Although it may seem like it's an arbitrary measure depending on how well you dip your fingers into the salt bowl a "pinch" is actually supposed to be a specific measure of 1/16th of a teaspoon. But because it is rather small, a tiny bit more or less usually won't be too much of an issue in the larger recipe. Usually.
Pinch, smidgen, modicum, dash, pittance, handful, bit, etc.

1 pound of salt is about 2 cups (US), and is 454 grams 1 cup is 48 teaspoons, so 2 is 96 tsp 454/ 96 = ~4.73 grams so that 6 grams would be about 1.27 tsp or roughly 1 1/4 tsp an imperial teaspoon in british measure is 4% smaller than a US tsp, such that a tsp of salt is about 4.54 grams and 6 grams is much closer to 1 1/3 tsp
Scintilla is a fancy word for trace. It means a dash, a spark, a smidgen, a teeny tiny amount.

If you take your 1/4 teaspoon and fill it half way with what you need then it equals 1/8. glad I could help you. If you want proof of it just type in the same question on Bing or Google and it's listed there. Brooke McC.
A half of a dash in a baking recipe would be a pinch (though I would use two pinches!).
12 dashes = 1 teaspoon 6 dashes = 1/2 teaspoon 3 dashes= 1/4 teaspoon
