How do I measure shredded coconut accurately?

For the most accurate measurement of shredded coconut, use a kitchen scale. Volume measurements can vary based on how the ingredient is packed.

Why should I weigh shredded coconut instead of using cups?

Weighing shredded coconut gives more consistent results than volume measurements. A cup of shredded coconut can vary by 10-20% depending on how it's measured (spooned vs scooped). Professional bakers always weigh ingredients for this reason.
