Formula and Step-by-Step
- Start with 0.48 pounds of coconut milk
- Convert pounds to grams: 0.48 × 453.59 = 217.72g
- 1 cup of coconut milk = 226g

The same formula works for any amount. Multiply (or divide) by the density, then convert units as needed.
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.
