Coconut Flour: US Cups to Grams (g) & Ounces (oz) Conversion
Convert volumes of highly absorbent coconut flour measured in US cups to its approximate weight in metric grams (g) and imperial/US ounces (oz). Essential for gluten-free, paleo, and keto recipes.

Important Considerations for Coconut Flour:
Coconut flour is very light but extremely absorbent. A common standard weight is **around 120 grams per US cup** (approx. 4.23 ounces), or 30g per 1/4 cup, when using the "spoon and level" method.
It cannot be substituted 1:1 for wheat or other gluten-free flours. Recipes typically use a much smaller amount of coconut flour (e.g., 1/4 to 1/3 cup) compared to other flours.
Recipes using coconut flour also often require more liquid and eggs due to its high absorbency.
For best results in recipes specifically designed for coconut flour, **measuring by weight (grams or ounces) with a kitchen scale is highly recommended.**
