How Much Is 24 Grams of Kosher Salt (Morton) in Cups?
24 grams of kosher salt (morton) equals 0.10 cups. Kosher salt (morton) has a density of 241g per cup. Because grams measure weight and cups measure volume, the result depends on the ingredient's density.
Formula and Step-by-Step
- Start with 24 grams of kosher salt (morton)
- 1 cup of kosher salt (morton) = 241g
- 24g ÷ 241g/cup = 0.10 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?
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.
