Explanation

Calculation basis: grams per US cup divided by 8 US fluid ounces per cup.

Table Salt uses a recorded reference of 288 grams per US cup in this dataset. Confidence: medium. Source basis: King Arthur weight chart (1 tbsp=18g, derived)

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

Is this based on an ingredient-specific density estimate?

Yes. The page reduces the same 288 g-per-cup basis to a per-fluid-ounce estimate for Table Salt.

Does salt type or crystal size change the result for Table Salt?

Table 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.
