How Much Is 1.7 Cups of Coconut Sugar in Grams?
1.7 cups of coconut sugar equals 306.00 g. Coconut sugar has a density of 180g per cup (180g per cup), which means it's moderate weight compared to other common cooking ingredients. For comparison, 1.7 cups of all-purpose flour would be 212.77 g.
Formula and Step-by-Step
- Start with 1.7 cups of coconut sugar
- 1 cup of coconut sugar = 180g
- 1.7 × 180 = 306g
The same formula works for any amount. Multiply (or divide) by the density, then convert units as needed.
Measuring Tip
Sugar is one of the easier dry ingredients to measure by volume because the crystals pack relatively consistently compared to flour or cocoa powder.
Coconut Sugar at Different Amounts

Understanding the Units
What is a Cup?
In US cooking, a cup measures volume, not weight. One standard US cup holds 236.588 ml of liquid. Because different ingredients have different densities, a cup of one ingredient can weigh very differently from a cup of another.
What is a Gram?
Weighing ingredients in grams eliminates the variability of volume measurements. A cup of flour can weigh anywhere from 120g to 160g depending on how it was scooped, but 120g of flour is always 120g of flour.
