About cups Coconut Oil (cups)
Cups of Coconut Oil. Measured by US cup (= 240 mL = 16 US tablespoons = 48 US teaspoons per FDA 21 CFR 101.9). The cup is the dominant US baking + cooking volume unit, but actual density varies significantly by how the ingredient is packed (scooped vs spooned-and-leveled — a 1-cup scoop of flour can range from 110 g to 150+ g depending on technique, which is why precise bakers use mass measurement in grams). Always level with a flat edge (the back of a knife) for accurate volumetric measurement. Coconut oil is the saturated fat extracted from the meat (copra) of mature coconut palms (Cocos nucifera). Solid at room temperature below ~24°C (75°F) — melts to liquid above that threshold. Density ~0.900 g/mL when liquid at 30°C+; solid form is ~0.92 g/mL but density measurements traditionally use the liquid state. Predominantly saturated (~92% saturated fatty acids, mostly lauric acid C12:0 = 50%, myristic C14:0 = 18%, palmitic C16:0 = 8%). Virgin (unrefined, expeller-pressed) vs Refined (RBD — refined, bleached, deodorized) differ in flavor + smoke point: virgin coconut oil has distinct coconut aroma + smoke point ~175°C; refined is neutral-flavored + ~232°C. Heavily used in: Asian/Indian/Southeast Asian cooking (Thai curries, Indian dahls), vegan baking (replaces butter at 1:1 by weight in many recipes), Bulletproof Coffee + MCT-oil supplementation. Brands: Spectrum Organic, Nutiva, Dr. Bronner's, La Tourangelle. Long shelf life ~24 months due to high saturation. Density: 0.900 g/mL (used to convert volume measurements to mass).
About grams Coconut Oil (grams)
Grams of Coconut Oil. Measured by mass in grams (g) — the metric base mass unit used in scientific + international + professional baking contexts. Mass measurement is more accurate than volume measurement because it eliminates packing-density variation (1 cup of flour can vary 10-20% by mass depending on aerated-vs-packed scoop technique). Most modern baking + pastry recipes from professional pastry chefs (Sébastien Bruno, Pierre Hermé, Stella Parks 'BraveTart', Cook's Illustrated) specify gram measurements. A small digital kitchen scale (~$15-30) provides 1-g resolution. Coconut oil is the saturated fat extracted from the meat (copra) of mature coconut palms (Cocos nucifera).
