Formula and Step-by-Step
- Start with 33.1 teaspoons of shredded coconut
- 1 teaspoon of shredded coconut = 1.67g
- 33.1 × 1.67 = 55.17g

The same formula works for any amount. Multiply (or divide) by the density, then convert units as needed.
Measuring Tip

Understanding the Units
What is a Teaspoon?
A US teaspoon is 4.929 ml, a metric teaspoon is exactly 5 ml, and an imperial teaspoon is 5.919 ml. The metric and US versions are nearly identical (1.4% difference), but the imperial teaspoon is 20% larger. For most spices the difference is negligible, but for leaveners like baking powder it can affect the result.
