}Explanation
Calculation basis: the recorded grams-per-US-cup value.
Fine Sea Salt uses a recorded reference of 240 grams per US cup in this dataset. Confidence: medium. Source basis: Calculator Academy (Sea salt, fine: ≈240g per US cup)
Evidence status: reference-recorded. The source note is recorded; this does not certify every preparation or measurement condition. Whole versus ground form, grind size, settling, and leveling are important because these concentrated ingredients are commonly measured in small volumes.

Questions & answers
Frequently Asked Questions
Does this use a US cup?
Yes. The factor is tied to the US cup definition (236.588 mL), not a metric cup.
Does salt type or crystal size change the result for Fine Sea Salt?
Fine Sea Salt keeps one reference basis here, but crystal size and settling can change the real kitchen weight. Fine, coarse, table, and kosher salts should not be treated as interchangeable by volume.
