Explanation

Use 218 g per US cup as the reference when converting coconut oil from cups to grams.

Recipe scaling stays tied to the US cup standard (236.588 mL) rather than to mixed cup charts. This basis assumes coconut oil is melted or fully liquid when measured, not scooped in solid pieces.

Method & Cup Basis
