How Much Is 720 Grams of Coconut Sugar in Cups?
720 grams of coconut sugar equals 4.00 cups. Coconut sugar has a density of 180g per cup. Because grams measure weight and cups measure volume, the result depends on the ingredient's density.
Formula and Step-by-Step
- Start with 720 grams of coconut sugar
- 1 cup of coconut sugar = 180g
- 720g ÷ 180g/cup = 4 cups
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 Gram?
Grams are the preferred unit in professional kitchens and bakeries because they allow exact recipe scaling. To double a recipe, simply double the gram values. No need to worry about how tightly an ingredient is packed into a cup.
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.
