Formula and Step-by-Step
- Start with 1.76 ounces of shredded coconut
- Convert ounces to grams: 1.76 × 28.35 = 49.90g
- 1 cup of shredded coconut = 80g
- 49.90g ÷ 80g/cup = 0.62 cups × 16 = 9.98 tablespoons
The same formula works for any amount. Multiply (or divide) by the density, then convert units as needed.
Measuring Tip
Toast shredded coconut before adding to recipes for richer flavor. Toasting does not significantly change the weight.
