Explanation

Use 128 g per US cup as the reference when converting kosher salt from cups to grams.

Recipe scaling stays tied to the US cup standard (236.588 mL) rather than to mixed cup charts. Kosher Salt can vary with crystal size and how tightly it settles, so fine, coarse, and kosher salts should not be treated as interchangeable by volume.

Method & Cup Basis

Method basis: cup-to-weight conversion anchored to the US customary cup (≈236.6 mL).
Applied formula: grams = cups × 128.
Consistency rule: snapshot, calculator, FAQ, and table use the same ingredient-specific basis.

Common Conversion Values

1/4	32
1/3	43
1/2	64
1	128

Kosher Salt: cups to grams evidence

Direction calculation: Kosher Salt — 1 US cup equals 128 grams. Reference: 128 g/US cup. Source basis: King Arthur Ingredient Weight Chart (Salt, Kosher, Diamond Crystal: 1 Tbsp = 8g, derived)

Whole versus ground form, grind size, settling, and leveling are important because these concentrated ingredients are commonly measured in small volumes.
