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?

A gram (g) is a metric unit of mass equal to 1/1000 of a kilogram. It is the standard weight measurement for precise baking worldwide. Professional bakers prefer grams because they are more accurate than volume measurements.

Frequently Asked Questions

About 3,756.00 g, based on shredded coconut having a density of 80g per cup. The exact amount depends on how the ingredient is measured and the specific product.
Multiply the number of cups by 80 (grams per cup for shredded coconut). For 46.95 cups: 46.95 × 80 = 3,756.00 g.
For the most accurate results, weigh shredded coconut on a kitchen scale. If measuring by volume, fill the measuring cup loosely and level off without pressing down. Whole and chopped pieces give different weights per measuring cup.
Weight-per-cup values vary because of differences in how the ingredient is measured (spooned vs scooped), grind size, moisture content, and settling during storage. Our values use standardized measurement methods from established culinary references.
Reverse the conversion: 3,756.00 g ÷ 80 = 46.95 cups. Or use the Grams to Cups converter.
