What a cup of shredded coconut weighs, and why it can differ
USDA’s weight for “1 cup, shredded” is 93 g. Next to a cup of water, which holds about 236.6 g, that is 39% of the weight of a cup of water, so a lot of the cup is air. The same cup works out at 0.39 g per millilitre.
USDA lists one cup measure for shredded coconut (“1 cup, shredded”), so this page has no second figure to compare it with; if a recipe depends on the exact amount, weigh it.
USDA lists no tablespoon or teaspoon measure for this entry, so that weight is the cup weight divided by the US ratio (16 tablespoons or 48 teaspoons to the cup).
