A highly absorbent, gluten-free flour made from dried, defatted coconut meat. It's also commonly labeled "coconut meal".
Coconut flour belongs to the Flours group on GramToCup, alongside other ingredients measured the same way in most kitchens. It shows up most often in gluten-free baking, low-carb bread, pancakes. Its density of 112g per US cup is what this calculator uses to convert between grams and cups automatically — no manual lookup required.
Coconut flour is a dry, milled or ground ingredient full of countless tiny air pockets between the particles. That trapped air is why it weighs relatively little for its volume — the exact weight shifts with how finely it's milled and how much it has settled in the container.
A cup of coconut flour is about 1.1× lighter than a cup of all-purpose flour (125g/cup), even though both fill the same 1-cup measuring cup.
Common mistake: Measuring straight from the container without sifting first, which leaves clumps and traps extra weight in the cup.
Sift coconut flour first to break up clumps, then spoon it into the measuring cup and level the top. Skipping the sift is the most common reason a cup ends up heavier than expected.
When a recipe needs to be exact, weigh it on a kitchen scale instead of using a measuring cup at all — it removes packing and settling from the equation entirely.
Store coconut flour in a sealed container — humidity is the main reason the same cup can weigh differently from one day to the next.
100g of coconut flour is approximately 0.89 cups, based on a density of 112g per US cup.
1 US cup of coconut flour weighs about 112g. Use the calculator above to convert any other amount instantly.
Yes — "coconut meal" is another common name for coconut flour. The density and conversion values on this page apply either way.
Because cups measure volume and grams measure weight. A cup of coconut flour is about 1.1× lighter than a cup of all-purpose flour (125g/cup) because the two ingredients have different densities — see the density explanation above for why.
Sift coconut flour first to break up clumps, then spoon it into the measuring cup and level the top. Skipping the sift is the most common reason a cup ends up heavier than expected.
They're in the same category, but check the density first: All-purpose flour weighs 125g per cup versus 112g for coconut flour. Substituting by weight (grams) keeps a recipe accurate; substituting cup-for-cup can change the result if the densities differ much.
