How Much Is 1 Ounce of Shredded Coconut in Cups?
1 ounce of shredded coconut equals 0.35 cups. That's 28.35g, and Shredded coconut has a density of 80g 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 1 ounce of shredded coconut
- Convert ounces to grams: 1 × 28.35 = 28.35g
- 1 cup of shredded coconut = 80g
- 28.35g ÷ 80g/cup = 0.35 cups
The same formula works for any amount. Multiply (or divide) by the density, then convert units as needed.
Measuring Tip
Shredded coconut is very light and airy. Spoon it loosely into the measuring cup without pressing down for accurate volume measurements.
