How Much Is 3 Teaspoons of Coconut Sugar in Ounces?
3 teaspoons of coconut sugar equals 0.40 oz. Coconut sugar has a density of 180g per cup (3.75g per teaspoon), which means it's relatively light compared to other common cooking ingredients. For comparison, 3 teaspoons of honey would be 0.75 oz.
Formula and Step-by-Step
- Start with 3 teaspoons of coconut sugar
- 1 teaspoon of coconut sugar = 3.75g
- 3 × 3.75 = 11.25g
- Convert grams to ounces: 11.25 ÷ 28.3495 = 0.40 oz
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).
