Formula and Step-by-Step
- Start with 490 grams of coconut milk
- 1 cup of coconut milk = 226g
- 490g ÷ 226g/cup = 2.17 cups × 236.588 = 512.96 milliliters

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 Milliliter?
A milliliter (ml) is a metric unit of volume equal to 1/1000 of a liter. It is the standard volume measurement for cooking in most countries outside the US. One cup equals approximately 236.588 milliliters.
