How Much Is 388 Ounces of Shredded Coconut in Cups?
388 ounces of shredded coconut equals 137.50 cups. That's 10,999.61g, 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 388 ounces of shredded coconut
- Convert ounces to grams: 388 × 28.35 = 10,999.61g
- 1 cup of shredded coconut = 80g
- 10,999.61g ÷ 80g/cup = 137.50 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.

Understanding the Units
What is an Ounce?
Ounces are commonly used in US recipes for cheese, meat, chocolate, and other ingredients sold by weight. Many kitchen scales offer both gram and ounce readings.
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.
