Formula and Step-by-Step

grams ÷ 80g/cup × 48 = teaspoons
  1. Start with 48.33 grams of shredded coconut
  2. 1 cup of shredded coconut = 80g
  3. 48.33g ÷ 80g/cup = 0.60 cups × 48 = 29.00 teaspoons

The same formula works for any amount. Multiply (or divide) by the density, then convert units as needed.

Measuring Tip

Sweetened and unsweetened shredded coconut have different densities. Sweetened coconut is heavier per cup due to added sugar.

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 Teaspoon?

A US teaspoon is 4.929 ml, a metric teaspoon is exactly 5 ml, and an imperial teaspoon is 5.919 ml. The metric and US versions are nearly identical (1.4% difference), but the imperial teaspoon is 20% larger. For most spices the difference is negligible, but for leaveners like baking powder it can affect the result.

Frequently Asked Questions

About 29.00 tsp, based on shredded coconut having a density of 80g per cup. The exact amount depends on how the ingredient is measured and the specific product.
Divide the grams by 80 (grams per cup) to get cups, then multiply by 48 to get teaspoons. For 48.33 grams: 48.33 ÷ 80 = 0.60 cups × 48 = 29.00 tsp.
For the most accurate results, weigh shredded coconut on a kitchen scale. If measuring by volume, fill the measuring spoon loosely and level off without pressing down. Whole and chopped pieces give different weights per measuring spoon.
Weight-per-cup values vary because of differences in how the ingredient is measured (spooned vs scooped), grind size, moisture content, and settling during storage. Our values use standardized measurement methods from established culinary references.
Reverse the conversion: 29.00 tsp ÷ 48 = 0.604125 cups, then 0.604125 × 80g/cup = 48.33g. Or use the Teaspoons to Grams converter.
