How Much Is 120 Tablespoons of Shredded Coconut in Grams?
120 tablespoons of shredded coconut equals 600.00 g. Shredded coconut has a density of 80g per cup (5g per tablespoon), which means it's relatively light compared to other common cooking ingredients. For comparison, 120 tablespoons of honey would be 2,550 g.
Formula and Step-by-Step
- Start with 120 tablespoons of shredded coconut
- 1 tablespoon of shredded coconut = 5g
- 120 × 5 = 600g
The same formula works for any amount. Multiply (or divide) by the density, then convert units as needed.
Measuring Tip
Shredded coconut is very light and airy. Spoon it loosely into the measuring spoon without pressing down for accurate volume measurements.

Understanding the Units
What is a Tablespoon?
A tablespoon is roughly the volume of a large soup spoon. In precise terms, 1 US tablespoon equals 14.787 ml, which is very close to the 15 ml metric standard used in most of the world. Three teaspoons make one tablespoon.
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.
