How to measure coconut milk accurately
The 240 g figure assumes the spooned-and-levelled method: spoon the coconut milk into a dry measuring cup and sweep the top flat with a straight edge. Scooping the cup through the bag compacts it and gives a heavier cup.
- 1 US cup of coconut milk = 240 g
- 1 metric cup (250 ml) of coconut milk = 254 g
- ¾ cup = 180 g
- ½ cup = 120 g
- ⅓ cup = 80 g
- ¼ cup = 60 g
- 1 tablespoon = 15.0 g
