How Much Is 5.87 Tablespoons of Coconut Sugar in Grams?
5.87 tablespoons of coconut sugar equals 66.04 g. Coconut sugar has a density of 180g per cup (11.25g per tablespoon), which means it's relatively light compared to other common cooking ingredients. For comparison, 5.87 tablespoons of honey would be 124.74 g.
Formula and Step-by-Step
- Start with 5.87 tablespoons of coconut sugar
- 1 tablespoon of coconut sugar = 11.25g
- 5.87 × 11.25 = 66.04g
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).

Understanding the Units
What is a Tablespoon?
A tablespoon (tbsp) is a US customary unit of volume equal to 14.787 milliliters, 3 teaspoons, or 1/16 of a cup. It is commonly used for measuring smaller amounts of ingredients.
What is a Gram?
Weighing ingredients in grams eliminates the variability of volume measurements. A cup of flour can weigh anywhere from 120g to 160g depending on how it was scooped, but 120g of flour is always 120g of flour.
