How Much Is 22 Cups of Shredded Coconut in Ounces?
22 cups of shredded coconut weighs 62.08 oz. This is based on shredded coconut having a density of 80g 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 22 cups.
Formula and Step-by-Step
- Start with 22 cups of shredded coconut
- 1 cup of shredded coconut = 80g
- 22 × 80 = 1,760g
- Convert grams to ounces: 1,760 ÷ 28.3495 = 62.08 oz
The same formula works for any amount. Multiply (or divide) by the density, then convert units as needed.
Measuring Tip
Toast shredded coconut before adding to recipes for richer flavor. Toasting does not significantly change the weight.

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 an Ounce?
Weight ounces and fluid ounces are different measurements. A fluid ounce measures volume (29.574 ml), while an ounce measures weight (28.35g). They only align for water, where 1 fl oz weighs approximately 1 oz.
