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.
