Measuring Shredded Coconut Accurately
Why weight matters: 2/3 cup of shredded coconut can weigh anywhere from 53g to 74g depending on how you measure it. The USDA standard is 62g (spooned and leveled). Scooping directly from the container can add 10–20% extra weight, which affects recipe results — especially in baking.
About shredded coconut density: Sweetened shredded coconut: 1 cup = 93g. Toasted shredded coconut is slightly denser (moisture removed). Unsweetened desiccated coconut: slightly denser ~100g/cup. Used in macaroons, cakes, granola.
About 2/3 Cup as a Measurement
2/3 cup = 10 tablespoons + 2 teaspoons = 160ml. This measure appears when scaling up 1/3 cup recipes by doubling. Use two 1/3-cup measures for accuracy, as 2/3 cup sets are less common.
Two-thirds cup is often seen in oatmeal cookie recipes, breakfast grain bowls, and rice cooker recipes for 2 servings. It equals exactly 160ml or approximately 5.4 fluid ounces.
