Measuring Tip
Liquid densities vary: oils weigh less per cup than water, while syrups and honey weigh more. This is why ingredient-specific conversions matter even for liquids.
Understanding the Units
What is a Pound?
Pounds are the standard weight unit for buying ingredients in the US. A standard bag of flour is 5 pounds (2,268g) and a standard bag of sugar is 4 pounds (1,814g).
What is a Liter?
One liter is about 5.7% larger than a US quart (1,000 ml vs 946 ml) and about 12% smaller than a UK quart (1,000 ml vs 1,137 ml). Always convert precisely rather than treating them as interchangeable.

Very close. Pure liquid densities are consistent across brands, so the pounds to liters conversion for coconut oil typically varies by less than 2-3%.
The same weight of different ingredients fills different volumes because each ingredient has a different density. A pound of coconut oil fills a different number of liters than a pound of a lighter or heavier ingredient. That is why this converter needs to know which ingredient you are measuring.
