1 grams of coconut flour = 0.01 cups (0 cup / 0.1 tbsp / 0.4 tsp)

Coconut Flour has a density of approximately 112g per cup. Very dense and absorbent — measure carefully. Source: USDA FoodData Central. This is the figure used everywhere on this page, including the tablespoon and teaspoon values, so the numbers stay consistent whether you're reading the summary line, the table, or the FAQ answers below.

The Math for 1g of Coconut Flour

cups = grams ÷ grams per cup

1g divided by 112g (the weight of one cup of coconut flour) equals 0.01 cups. Multiplying that by 16 gives 0.1 tablespoons, and by 48 gives 0.4 teaspoons, since one cup always equals 16 tablespoons or 48 teaspoons regardless of the ingredient.

Coconut Flour is lighter than water, which weighs about 236g per cup. That's why 1g of coconut flour takes up more volume (2ml) than the same weight of water would (1ml). For a side-by-side look at how other ingredients compare, see the 1 grams to cups page.

Metric and Imperial Cup Sizes

The 0.01 cup figure above uses the US Customary cup (236.588ml). Recipes written outside the US sometimes use a metric cup (250ml) or an imperial (uk) cup (284.131ml) instead. At 1g, that's 0 metric cups or 0 imperial cups of coconut flour, close to the US figure but not identical. The cup standard switch in the converter above recalculates this instantly for any gram amount.

Making More or Less Than 1g

Doubling a recipe that calls for 1g of coconut flour means weighing 2g, or measuring 0.02 cups if you're working by volume instead of weight. Halving it means 0.5g, or 0.00 cups. Weight scales exactly with simple multiplication; cup measurements compound any scooping error each time they're doubled or halved, so weighing is more reliable the more a recipe is scaled.

How Coconut Flour Compares to Similar Ingredients

Within flours, density still varies by ingredient. At 1g, all-purpose flour (125g per cup) measures 0 cup, while bread flour (127g per cup) measures 0 cup, compared to 0 cup for coconut flour. Swapping ingredients in a recipe by cup measurement alone, without adjusting for this difference, changes the actual weight used.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is 1 grams of coconut flour in cups?+

1 grams of coconut flour is 0.01 cups, or 0.1 tablespoons.

Should I use a spoon or a cup for 1g of coconut flour?+

At 1g, a tablespoon or teaspoon measurement is usually more practical than a fractional cup. Use 0.1 tablespoons or 0.4 teaspoons.

Is 1 grams of coconut flour the same as 1 milliliters?+

Only if it weighed the same as water. 1g of water is about 1ml, while 1g of coconut flour is 2ml, because the two have different densities.

Does the answer change for a metric or imperial cup?+

Slightly. 1g of coconut flour is 0 metric cups or 0 imperial cups, close to the US figure but not identical, since each standard defines the cup at a different volume.
