How Much Is 720 Grams of Kosher Salt (Morton) in Teaspoons?
720 grams of kosher salt (morton) equals 143.40 tsp. 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 720 grams of kosher salt (morton)
- 1 cup of kosher salt (morton) = 241g
- 720g ÷ 241g/cup = 2.99 cups × 48 = 143.40 teaspoons
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 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 Teaspoon?
One teaspoon holds about 5 milliliters. There are 3 teaspoons in a tablespoon and 48 teaspoons in a cup. Teaspoon accuracy matters most with leaveners like baking powder and baking soda, where small differences affect rise and texture.
