Measuring 16 oz (1 lb) of Coconut Flour in the Kitchen
Because 1 US Customary Cup (236.6 mL) of coconut flour weighs 112g when measured spooned & leveled, 16 Ounces (453.6g) translates to 4.05 US cups (4 cups + 2 ½ tsp). By contrast, using the scooped from canister measure (128g/cup — a 16g per-cup shift), 16 oz occupies 3 ½ cups + 2 tsp (3.54 cups).
Without a kitchen scale, measure 4 cups + 2 ½ tsp (64.8 tablespoons total) using spooned & leveled technique. Spoon gently into cup and level. Because coconut flour absorbs 3 to 4 times its weight in moisture, weigh on a digital scale.
