How Much Is 5 Ounces of Coconut Sugar in Tablespoons?
5 ounces of coconut sugar equals 12.60 tbsp. That's 141.75g, and Coconut sugar has a density of 180g per cup. Because ounces measure weight and tablespoons measure volume, the result depends on the ingredient's density.
Formula and Step-by-Step
- Start with 5 ounces of coconut sugar
- Convert ounces to grams: 5 × 28.35 = 141.75g
- 1 cup of coconut sugar = 180g
- 141.75g ÷ 180g/cup = 0.79 cups × 16 = 12.60 tablespoons
The same formula works for any amount. Multiply (or divide) by the density, then convert units as needed.
Measuring Tip
Coconut sugar should be spooned into the measuring spoon and leveled off. Do not pack it unless the recipe specifically says to (packing is only standard for brown sugar).
