How to measure it
Sweetened shredded coconut weighs about 85 g a cup loosely filled, one of the lightest entries on this site. The curly flakes interlock and hold the cup open, so resist pressing them down.
Unsweetened desiccated coconut is drier and finer and matches at roughly 85 g, while big coconut chips run lighter, near 60 g a cup. Toasting does not change the weight, only the colour and flavour, so measure before toasting for convenience.
