Table Salt — Pounds in Cups
1 pound of table salt equals 1.6 ( ~ 1 1/2) cups*
About table salt measurements
Fine table salt is dense — near 1.22 g/ml, about 288 g per US cup — because its tiny cubes pack with almost no gaps. Swap in flaky kosher or coarse sea salt and the very same spoon weighs far less, which is why salt should never be substituted by volume alone.
