Formula and Step-by-Step
- Start with 9 ounces of shredded coconut
- Convert ounces to grams: 9 × 28.35 = 255.15g
- 1 cup of shredded coconut = 80g
- 255.15g ÷ 80g/cup = 3.19 cups × 16 = 51.03 tablespoons
The same formula works for any amount. Multiply (or divide) by the density, then convert units as needed.
Measuring Tip
Sweetened and unsweetened shredded coconut have different densities. Sweetened coconut is heavier per cup due to added sugar.
