How Much Is 180 Tablespoons of Shredded Coconut in Grams?
180 tablespoons of shredded coconut weighs 900.00 g. This is based on shredded coconut having a density of 80g 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 180 tablespoons.
Formula and Step-by-Step
- Start with 180 tablespoons of shredded coconut
- 1 tablespoon of shredded coconut = 5g
- 180 × 5 = 900g
The same formula works for any amount. Multiply (or divide) by the density, then convert units as needed.
Measuring Tip
Sweetened and unsweetened shredded coconut have different densities. Sweetened coconut is heavier per cup due to added 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.
