How Much Is 0.49 Cups of Flaxseed in Ounces?
0.49 cups of flaxseed equals 2.56 oz. Flaxseed has a density of 148g per cup (148g per cup), which means it's moderate weight compared to other common cooking ingredients. For comparison, 0.49 cups of honey would be 5.88 oz.
Formula and Step-by-Step
- Start with 0.49 cups of flaxseed
- 1 cup of flaxseed = 148g
- 0.49 × 148 = 72.52g
- Convert grams to ounces: 72.52 ÷ 28.3495 = 2.56 oz
The same formula works for any amount. Multiply (or divide) by the density, then convert units as needed.
Measuring Tip
Ground and whole flaxseed have different densities. Make sure you are using the form your recipe specifies.

Understanding the Units
What is a Cup?
In US cooking, a cup measures volume, not weight. One standard US cup holds 236.588 ml of liquid. Because different ingredients have different densities, a cup of one ingredient can weigh very differently from a cup of another.
What is an Ounce?
An ounce (oz) is a US customary unit of weight equal to 28.3495 grams or 1/16 of a pound. In cooking, "ounces" refers to weight (avoirdupois ounces), not fluid ounces which measure volume.
