Formula and Step-by-Step
- Start with 8.72 grams of coconut oil
- 1 cup of coconut oil = 218g
- 8.72g ÷ 218g/cup = 0.04 cups × 0.25 = 0.01 quarts
The same formula works for any amount. Multiply (or divide) by the density, then convert units as needed.

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 Quart?
The quart gets its name from "quarter" (of a gallon). One US quart is about 5.7% smaller than 1 liter (946 ml vs 1,000 ml). Always use the exact unit your recipe specifies.
