Use the tool below to convert desiccated coconut from the measurements in your recipe to the measurements that you need.

Desiccated coconut is finely shredded and dried coconut flesh, used in cakes, biscuits, macaroons, granola, and curry sauces. One metric cup (250 ml) of desiccated coconut weighs around 88 grams or 3.1 ounces. It is lighter and drier than the shredded coconut sold in US baking aisles, which is often sweetened and more moist.

Desiccated coconut compacts when pressed into a cup, so a scooped measure can weigh 20% more than a loose one. Weighing in grams gives the right amount without surprises.

Rolled oats and desiccated coconut are both light, dry ingredients used in granola, flapjacks, and crumble toppings. Oats are heavier (90 g vs 88 g per cup) and give a chewier texture; coconut adds sweetness and a fine crunch. They work well combined in the same recipe. See our Rolled Oats converter.
