Morton Coarse Kosher Salt Measuring FAQs

Why is Morton kosher salt so much heavier than Diamond Crystal? ▾

Morton uses mechanical compression rollers to flatten solid salt crystals into dense plates, packing 240 grams per cup compared to Diamond Crystal's 135 grams.

Can Morton kosher salt be used in cake batter? ▾

Its large, dense crystals dissolve slowly in low-moisture batters; crush finely with a mortar and pestle or dissolve in liquid first.
