375 Grams of Table Salt in Cups
375 grams of table salt doesn't land on a clean fraction, so the result below is calculated exactly rather than rounded to a common measure. Based on a density of 288g per cup, it equals 1.30 cups.

375 grams of table salt = 1.30 cups (1⅓ cup / 20.8 tbsp / 62.5 tsp)
Table Salt has a density of approximately 288g per cup. Diamond Crystal kosher salt is 142g; Morton kosher is 240g. Source: USDA FoodData Central. This is the figure used everywhere on this page, including the tablespoon and teaspoon values, so the numbers stay consistent whether you're reading the summary line, the table, or the FAQ answers below.
| Grams | Cups | Fraction | Tablespoons | Teaspoons |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 325g | 1.13 | 1⅛ | 18.1 | 54.2 |
| 350g | 1.22 | 1¼ | 19.4 | 58.3 |
| 375g | 1.30 | 1⅓ | 20.8 | 62.5 |
| 400g | 1.39 | 1⅜ | 22.2 | 66.7 |
| 425g | 1.48 | 1½ | 23.6 | 70.8 |
How 375g Converts, Step by Step
375g divided by 288g (the weight of one cup of table salt) equals 1.30 cups. Multiplying that by 16 gives 20.8 tablespoons, and by 48 gives 62.5 teaspoons, since one cup always equals 16 tablespoons or 48 teaspoons regardless of the ingredient.
Table Salt is denser than water, which weighs about 236g per cup. That's why 375g of table salt fills less volume (308ml) than the same weight of water would (376ml). For a side-by-side look at how other ingredients compare, see the 375 grams to cups page.
If You're Using a Metric or Imperial Cup
The 1.30 cup figure above uses the US Customary cup (236.588ml). Recipes written outside the US sometimes use a metric cup (250ml) or an imperial (uk) cup (284.131ml) instead. At 375g, that's 1¼ metric cups or 1⅛ imperial cups of table salt, close to the US figure but not identical. The cup standard switch in the converter above recalculates this instantly for any gram amount.
Scaling This 375g Amount
Doubling a recipe that calls for 375g of table salt means weighing 750g, or measuring 2.60 cups if you're working by volume instead of weight. Halving it means 187.5g, or 0.65 cups. Weight scales exactly with simple multiplication; cup measurements compound any scooping error each time they're doubled or halved, so weighing is more reliable the more a recipe is scaled.
Table Salt Next to Other Dry Goods
Within dry goods, density still varies by ingredient. At 375g, baking soda (230g per cup) measures 1⅝ cup, while baking powder (192g per cup) measures 1⅞ cups, compared to 1⅓ cup for table salt. Swapping ingredients in a recipe by cup measurement alone, without adjusting for this difference, changes the actual weight used.
Where This Amount Shows Up in Recipes
- Bread dough typically uses 8g to 10g of salt per 500g of flour.
- Most savory recipes call for 5g to 10g to season a full dish.
- Brines for meat or vegetables often use 60g to 120g dissolved in water.
Measuring This Precisely
Dry Goods
Spoon into the cup and level off. Ingredients like cocoa powder benefit from a quick sift first to break up clumps.
For exact results
Baking soda and baking powder should always be measured with a dry measuring spoon, leveled flat — a heaping spoonful of either can meaningfully change how a baked good rises.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is 375 grams of table salt in cups exactly?+
375 grams of table salt equals 1.30 cups, based on a density of 288g per cup.
Why doesn't 375g of table salt match a simple fraction?+
375g isn't a multiple of table salt's per-cup weight, so the cup value lands between common fractions. The closest practical measure is 1⅓ cup.
What's the most reliable way to measure 375g of table salt?+
A kitchen scale set to grams gives an exact 375g reading. Cups only approximate this amount, since 1⅓ cup rounds to the nearest practical fraction.
Is 375g likely a typo for a rounder amount?+
Possibly, if a recipe seems to expect a cleaner number. Check the nearby amounts table below for the closest common gram values for table salt.
