⅔ cup of salt in grams
0.6667 cups × 288 g per cup = 192 g
A cup of salt weighs 288 g, so ⅔ cup of it comes to 192 g. That figure is particular to salt: a cup is a volume and a gram is a mass, and the only thing connecting them is how heavy the ingredient is for its bulk. Few things in a kitchen weigh more: a cup of it outweighs a cup of all-purpose flour by 2.4 times. The source line is "1 tablespoon = 18 g", from King Arthur Baking.
Salt and leaveners are where a volume measure hurts most, because the brands differ from each other and not just from table salt. A tablespoon of table salt is 18 g, of Morton's kosher 16 g, of Diamond Crystal kosher 8 g — half. A recipe developed with one and made with another is seasoned wrong.

Questions
- How many grams is ⅔ cup of salt?
- 192 g, or 6.77 oz. A full cup of salt is 288 g.
- How many grams are in a cup of salt?
- 288 g. Source: King Arthur Baking — Ingredient Weight Chart, "1 tablespoon = 18 g".
- Does it matter how I fill the cup?
- Salt and leaveners are where a volume measure hurts most, because the brands differ from each other and not just from table salt. A tablespoon of table salt is 18 g, of Morton's kosher 16 g, of Diamond Crystal kosher 8 g — half. A recipe developed with one and made with another is seasoned wrong.
- Why can't I just use one cups-to-grams number?
- Because a cup measures volume and a gram measures mass. A cup of flour is 120 g and a cup of honey is 336 g — nearly three times as much, in the same cup. The conversion is different for every ingredient.
