i would like to ask for the exact measurement of desiccated coconut needed in making the squash macaroons. it is indicated in the recipe that 1/2 pack is needed. but how much is 1/2 pack?? because desiccated coconut can be bought by kilo. is 1/2 pack equivalent to 1/2 kilo? or is it measured by cups? (the ordinary coconut macaroons recipe need 4cups of desiccated)
