0.33 cups of flaxseed weighs 1.72 oz. This is based on flaxseed having a density of 148g per cup. Because cups measure volume and ounces measure weight, the result depends on the ingredient, and a different ingredient would give a different result for the same 0.33 cups.
Formula and Step-by-Step
- Start with 0.33 cups of flaxseed
- 1 cup of flaxseed = 148g
