How Much Is 150 Grams of Shredded Coconut in Cups?
150 grams of shredded coconut equals 1.88 cups. Shredded coconut has a density of 80g per cup. A lighter ingredient like cocoa powder (86g/cup) would fill even more volume at the same weight, which is why ingredient-specific conversions matter.
Formula and Step-by-Step
- Start with 150 grams of shredded coconut
- 1 cup of shredded coconut = 80g
- 150g ÷ 80g/cup = 1.88 cups
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 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.
What is a Cup?
A cup is a US customary unit of volume equal to 236.588 milliliters or 8 fluid ounces. It is the most common volume measurement in American recipes. One cup can be divided into 16 tablespoons or 48 teaspoons.
