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.
Also called: nariyal.
Weights are for a level US cup (236.6 ml) and level spoons, from USDA FoodData Central household measures. Brands and packing vary by a few per cent; when a recipe gives grams, weigh rather than measure.
1 level US cup of fresh grated coconut weighs about 80 g (2.8 oz). A 250 ml metric cup weighs about 85 g.
1 level tablespoon of fresh grated coconut is about 5 g, and 1 teaspoon is about 1.7 g.
100 g of fresh grated coconut is about 1.25 cups, or 20 tablespoons.
A cup measures volume, not weight. Fresh Grated Coconut is full of air between the particles, so a cup weighs much less than a cup of water (80 g vs 237 g).
