| Standard (1×) | 113.4g (4 oz) | 1 cup | 239.5 mL |

Measuring 4 oz of Coconut Flour in the Kitchen
Because 1 US Customary Cup (236.6 mL) of coconut flour weighs 112g when measured spooned & leveled, 4 Ounces (113.4g) translates to 1.01 US cups (1 cup). By contrast, using the scooped from canister measure (128g/cup — a 16g per-cup shift), 4 oz occupies ¾ cup + 2 tbsp + ½ tsp (0.89 cups).
Without a kitchen scale, measure 1 cup (16.2 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.
