Measuring Tip
If your recipe was developed with kosher salt, using the same volume of table salt will over-season the dish. Always check which salt type your recipe specifies, or convert by weight.
Understanding the Units
What is a Gram?
Grams are the preferred unit in professional kitchens and bakeries because they allow exact recipe scaling. To double a recipe, simply double the gram values. No need to worry about how tightly an ingredient is packed into a cup.
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.

1 gram of table salt equals 0.00 cups. The result scales proportionally for other amounts - choose an amount below or enter any quantity in the calculator.
If you have a kitchen scale, weighing table salt gives you an exact starting point for this conversion. If you need to measure by volume instead, spoon the ingredient into the measuring cup and level it off with a straight edge.
No. This conversion is specific to table salt. Salt brands have dramatically different densities by volume. Morton kosher salt weighs nearly twice as much per measuring cup as Diamond Crystal, and table salt is denser than both. Always use the exact salt type your recipe specifies, or weigh by grams for accuracy.
The same weight of different ingredients fills different volumes because each ingredient has a different density. A gram of table salt fills a different number of cups than a gram of a lighter or heavier ingredient. That is why this converter needs to know which ingredient you are measuring.
