Formula and Step-by-Step

cups × 170g/cup ÷ 453.592g/lb = pounds
  1. Start with 0.01 cups of quinoa
  2. 1 cup of quinoa = 170g
  3. 0.01 × 170 = 1.7g
  4. Convert grams to pounds: 1.7 ÷ 453.592 = 0.00 lb

The same formula works for any amount. Multiply (or divide) by the density, then convert units as needed.

Measuring Tip

Pour grains into the measuring cup and level off. Do not shake or tap, as this settles the grains and increases the weight.
