A metric cup (250 ml, used in Australia, New Zealand, Canada and many Indian recipes) holds about 6% more than a US cup.
Whole and chopped nuts sit loosely, so a cup of chopped nuts weighs less than a cup of ground nuts. Dried fruit is loosely packed.
Sweetened shredded coconut is also about 85 g per cup.
Also called: dry coconut powder.
Weights are for a level US cup (236.6 ml) and level spoons, from King Arthur Baking's ingredient weight chart. Brands and packing vary by a few per cent; when a recipe gives grams, weigh rather than measure.
1 level US cup of desiccated coconut weighs about 85 g (3 oz). A 250 ml metric cup weighs about 90 g.
1 level tablespoon of desiccated coconut is about 5.3 g, and 1 teaspoon is about 1.8 g.
100 g of desiccated coconut is about 1.18 cups, or 18.8 tablespoons.
A cup measures volume, not weight. Desiccated Coconut is full of air between the particles, so a cup weighs much less than a cup of water (85 g vs 237 g).
