How Much Is 0.71 Cups of Sunflower Seeds in Ounces?
0.71 cups of sunflower seeds weighs 3.51 oz. This is based on sunflower seeds having a density of 140g 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 0.71 cups.
Formula and Step-by-Step
- Start with 0.71 cups of sunflower seeds
- 1 cup of sunflower seeds = 140g
- 0.71 × 140 = 99.4g
- Convert grams to ounces: 99.4 ÷ 28.3495 = 3.51 oz
The same formula works for any amount. Multiply (or divide) by the density, then convert units as needed.
Measuring Tip
For the most consistent results, weigh sunflower seeds on a kitchen scale. Small seeds are easy to over-measure by volume.

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?
Weight ounces and fluid ounces are different measurements. A fluid ounce measures volume (29.574 ml), while an ounce measures weight (28.35g). They only align for water, where 1 fl oz weighs approximately 1 oz.
