How Much Is 8 Fluid Ounces of Coconut Milk in Grams?
8 fluid ounces of coconut milk weighs 226.00 g. This is based on coconut milk having a density of 226g per cup. Because fluid ounces measure volume and grams measure weight, the result depends on the ingredient, and a different ingredient would give a different result for the same 8 fluid ounces.
Formula and Step-by-Step
- Start with 8 fluid ounces of coconut milk
- 1 fluid ounce of coconut milk = 28.25g
- 8 × 28.25 = 226g
The same formula works for any amount. Multiply (or divide) by the density, then convert units as needed.
Measuring Tip
Liquid densities vary: oils weigh less per cup than water, while syrups and honey weigh more. This is why ingredient-specific conversions matter even for liquids.

Understanding the Units
What is a Fluid Ounce?
The US fluid ounce (29.574 ml) and the UK fluid ounce (28.413 ml) are different sizes. The UK version is about 4% smaller. This means a UK recipe calling for 8 fl oz gives you 227 ml, while 8 US fl oz gives you 237 ml. The difference is small per ounce but adds up in larger quantities.
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.
