How Much Is 48 Ounces of Coconut Sugar in Cups?
48 ounces of coconut sugar equals 7.56 cups. That's 1,360.78g, and Coconut sugar has a density of 180g per cup. Because ounces measure weight and cups measure volume, the result depends on the ingredient's density.
Formula and Step-by-Step
- Start with 48 ounces of coconut sugar
- Convert ounces to grams: 48 × 28.35 = 1,360.78g
- 1 cup of coconut sugar = 180g
- 1,360.78g ÷ 180g/cup = 7.56 cups
The same formula works for any amount. Multiply (or divide) by the density, then convert units as needed.
Measuring Tip
Sugar is one of the easier dry ingredients to measure by volume because the crystals pack relatively consistently compared to flour or cocoa powder.

Understanding the Units
What is an Ounce?
Weight ounces and fluid ounces are different measurements. A fluid ounce measures volume (29.574 ml), while an ounce measures weight (28.35g). They only align for water, where 1 fl oz weighs approximately 1 oz.
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.
