Unit of salt or sand (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

grain

(Other definitions for grain that I've seen before include "Direction of fibres found in wood" , "Particle of e.g. sand" , "Small piece of sand" , "Small hard particle of anything" , "Single piece of sand etc" .)

I've seen this clue in the LA Times.
