Measuring Tip
For the most consistent results, weigh chia seeds on a kitchen scale. Small seeds are easy to over-measure by volume.
Understanding the Units
What is a Gram?
Weighing ingredients in grams eliminates the variability of volume measurements. A cup of flour can weigh anywhere from 120g to 160g depending on how it was scooped, but 120g of flour is always 120g of flour.
What is a Cup?
The US cup (236.588 ml) is slightly smaller than the metric cup used in Australia and some other countries (250 ml). When following recipes from different countries, check which cup standard is being used.

If you have a kitchen scale, weighing chia seeds gives you an exact starting point for this conversion. If you need to measure by volume instead, spoon the ingredient into the measuring cup and level it off with a straight edge.
Close, but not exactly. The grams to cups conversion for chia seeds may vary slightly between brands depending on moisture content and how the ingredient is measured.
The same weight of different ingredients fills different volumes because each ingredient has a different density. A gram of chia seeds fills a different number of cups than a gram of a lighter or heavier ingredient. That is why this converter needs to know which ingredient you are measuring.
