How Much Is 1.55 Cups of Coconut Sugar in Ounces?
1.55 cups of coconut sugar weighs 9.84 oz. This is based on coconut sugar having a density of 180g per cup. Because cups measure volume and ounces measure weight, the result depends on the ingredient, and a different ingredient would give a different result for the same 1.55 cups.
Formula and Step-by-Step
- Start with 1.55 cups of coconut sugar
- 1 cup of coconut sugar = 180g
- 1.55 × 180 = 279g
- Convert grams to ounces: 279 ÷ 28.3495 = 9.84 oz
The same formula works for any amount. Multiply (or divide) by the density, then convert units as needed.
Measuring Tip
Coconut sugar should be spooned into the measuring cup and leveled off. Do not pack it unless the recipe specifically says to (packing is only standard for brown sugar).

Understanding the Units
What is a Cup?
There are three cup standards used worldwide. The US cup (236.588 ml) is used in American recipes. The metric cup (250 ml) is standard in Australia, New Zealand, and some parts of Asia. The imperial cup (284.131 ml) appears in older British and Canadian recipes. A metric cup holds about 5.7% more than a US cup, while an imperial cup holds about 20% more. Using the wrong standard can noticeably affect a recipe.
What is an Ounce?
Ounces are commonly used in US recipes for cheese, meat, chocolate, and other ingredients sold by weight. Many kitchen scales offer both gram and ounce readings.
