Formula and Step-by-Step
- Start with 2.12 ounces of shredded coconut
- Convert ounces to grams: 2.12 × 28.35 = 60.10g
- 1 cup of shredded coconut = 80g
- 60.10g ÷ 80g/cup = 0.75 cups × 16 = 12.02 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.

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 Tablespoon?
One tablespoon holds about 15 milliliters. There are 16 tablespoons in a cup and 3 teaspoons in a tablespoon. In baking, tablespoon measurements are used for butter, oil, honey, and other ingredients where a full cup would be too much.
