Measuring 50g of Coconut Oil in the Kitchen
Because 1 US Customary Cup (236.6 mL) of coconut oil weighs 218g when measured solid spooned or poured liquid, 50 Grams (50g) translates to 0.23 US cups (3 tbsp + 2 tsp). By contrast, using the melted liquid (above 76°f) measure (218g/cup — an identical per-cup density), 50g occupies 3 tbsp + 2 tsp (0.23 cups).
Without a kitchen scale, measure 3 tbsp + 2 tsp (3.67 tablespoons total) using solid spooned or poured liquid technique. Coconut oil liquefies at 76°F (24°C). When solid, pack firmly into measuring cup; when warm and clear, measure as liquid.
