How Much Is 82.4 Grams of Shredded Coconut in Cups?
82.4 grams of shredded coconut equals 1.03 cups. Shredded coconut has a density of 80g 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 82.4 grams of shredded coconut
- 1 cup of shredded coconut = 80g
- 82.4g ÷ 80g/cup = 1.03 cups

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.
