Understanding Shredded Coconut Conversions

Measurement Tip
Measuring shredded coconut by volume is notoriously inconsistent because the pieces don't pack uniformly. Weighing with a kitchen scale gives much more reliable results. The density value we use (0.38 g/ml) represents an average, but your actual measurement may vary by 15-20%.
