How Much Is 720 Milliliters of Coconut Milk in Grams?
720 milliliters of coconut milk weighs 687.78 g. This is based on coconut milk having a density of 226g per cup. Because milliliters measure volume and grams measure weight, the result depends on the ingredient, and a different ingredient would give a different result for the same 720 milliliters.
Formula and Step-by-Step
- Start with 720 milliliters of coconut milk
- 1 milliliter of coconut milk = 0.96g
- 720 × 0.96 = 687.78g
The same formula works for any amount. Multiply (or divide) by the density, then convert units as needed.
Measuring Tip
Liquid densities vary: oils weigh less per cup than water, while syrups and honey weigh more. This is why ingredient-specific conversions matter even for liquids.

What is a Milliliter?
Most kitchen measuring cups outside the US are marked in milliliters. A standard metric cup is 250 ml. When converting American recipes, 1 US cup = 236.588 ml.
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.
