How Much Is 144 Grams of Kosher Salt (Morton) in Cups?
144 grams of kosher salt (morton) equals 0.60 cups. Kosher salt (morton) has a density of 241g per cup. A lighter ingredient like flour (125g/cup) would fill more volume at the same weight, which is why ingredient-specific conversions matter.
Formula and Step-by-Step
- Start with 144 grams of kosher salt (morton)
- 1 cup of kosher salt (morton) = 241g
- 144g ÷ 241g/cup = 0.60 cups
The same formula works for any amount. Multiply (or divide) by the density, then convert units as needed.
Measuring Tip
Always check which salt brand your recipe specifies. Substituting one for another by volume can double or halve the salt content.

Understanding the Units
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.
What is a Cup?
The US cup (236.588 ml) is slightly smaller than the metric cup used in Australia and some other countries (250 ml). When following recipes from different countries, check which cup standard is being used.
