How Much Is 3.76 Cups of Kosher Salt (Morton) in Grams?
3.76 cups of kosher salt (morton) weighs 906.16 g. This is based on kosher salt (morton) having a density of 241g per cup. Because cups measure volume and grams measure weight, the result depends on the ingredient, and a different ingredient would give a different result for the same 3.76 cups.
Formula and Step-by-Step
- Start with 3.76 cups of kosher salt (morton)
- 1 cup of kosher salt (morton) = 241g
- 3.76 × 241 = 906.16g
The same formula works for any amount. Multiply (or divide) by the density, then convert units as needed.
Measuring Tip
If substituting one salt type for another, convert by weight (grams) rather than volume to keep the salinity correct.

Understanding the Units
What is a Cup?
In US cooking, a cup measures volume, not weight. One standard US cup holds 236.588 ml of liquid. Because different ingredients have different densities, a cup of one ingredient can weigh very differently from a cup of another.
What is a Gram?
Weighing ingredients in grams eliminates the variability of volume measurements. A cup of flour can weigh anywhere from 120g to 160g depending on how it was scooped, but 120g of flour is always 120g of flour.
