When heated to about 370 degrees . celsius. will saltwater or freshwater hold heat the longest? . RESEARCH.      Table salt nutrition facts can be found at the back of the packaging. Every 1 tablespoon (18 grams) of table salt you gain 0 calories, there is 0% total fat so there is no saturated fat, polyunsaturated fat and monounsaturated fat.
