How many grams is 1/2 cup of table salt?
Answer
One US cup (236.6 ml) of table salt weighs 292 grams, from USDA FoodData Central, SR Legacy entry 173468 “Salt, table”, portion “1 cup” = 292 grams.
1/2 cup of table salt equals 146 grams; the way back, from grams to cups, is the Grams to Cups converter.
This is the US customary cup of 236.6 ml. A recipe written for the metric cup of 250 ml (Australia, New Zealand, Canada) means 5.7 % more: 154.3 grams.
How 1/2 cup of table salt was converted to grams
One US cup of table salt weighs 292 grams (two hundred ninety-two), so multiply 1/2 by 292.
1/2 × 292 g
=146 grams
(one hundred forty-six grams)
The weight of the cup comes from USDA FoodData Central, SR Legacy entry 173468 “Salt, table”, portion “1 cup” = 292 grams. Scooped ingredients vary with how they are filled — spooned in lightly, a cup weighs less; packed down, more — so for baking a kitchen scale is the exact tool and this figure the standard reference.

This page starts from cups and answers in grams. The opposite question — how many cups a weight from a recipe fills — is what the grams to cups converter is for. Both read the same USDA weights, so their numbers agree: 100 grams of table salt is 0.34 cups there.
