About
Coconut oil is a tropical plant fat that weighs about 7.7 ounces (218 grams) per US cup.
Coconut oil has a typical density of about 7.7 ounces per US cup (0.92 grams per milliliter), whether it is a white solid or melted into a liquid above 77 degrees Fahrenheit (25 degrees Celsius). Because fats are less dense than water, it takes up the exact same volume while weighing roughly eight percent less. This density is nearly identical to olive oil and canola oil, taking up similar space in jars and measuring cups.
From Wikipedia
Coconut oil is an edible oil derived from the meat of the coconut palm fruit. Coconut oil is a white solid fat below around 25 °C (77 °F), and a clear thin liquid oil at higher temperatures.
