How Much Is 12 Tablespoons of Coconut Sugar in Grams?
12 tablespoons of coconut sugar weighs 135.00 g. This is based on coconut sugar having a density of 180g per cup. Because tablespoons measure volume and grams measure weight, the result depends on the ingredient, and a different ingredient would give a different result for the same 12 tablespoons.
Formula and Step-by-Step
- Start with 12 tablespoons of coconut sugar
- 1 tablespoon of coconut sugar = 11.25g
- 12 × 11.25 = 135g
The same formula works for any amount. Multiply (or divide) by the density, then convert units as needed.
Measuring Tip
Coconut sugar should be spooned into the measuring spoon and leveled off. Do not pack it unless the recipe specifically says to (packing is only standard for brown sugar).
