How Much Is 28 Grams of Sunflower Seeds in Cups?
28 grams of sunflower seeds equals 0.20 cups. Sunflower seeds has a density of 140g per cup. A lighter ingredient like cocoa powder (86g/cup) would fill even more volume at the same weight, which is why ingredient-specific conversions matter.
Formula and Step-by-Step
- Start with 28 grams of sunflower seeds
- 1 cup of sunflower seeds = 140g
- 28g ÷ 140g/cup = 0.2 cups
The same formula works for any amount. Multiply (or divide) by the density, then convert units as needed.
Measuring Tip
Sunflower seeds are small and pack tightly. Pour them into the measuring cup and level off without shaking, which settles the seeds and increases the weight.

Understanding the Units
What is a Gram?
A gram (g) is a metric unit of mass equal to 1/1000 of a kilogram. It is the standard weight measurement for precise baking worldwide. Professional bakers prefer grams because they are more accurate than volume measurements.
What is a Cup?
There are three cup standards used worldwide. The US cup (236.588 ml) is used in American recipes. The metric cup (250 ml) is standard in Australia, New Zealand, and some parts of Asia. The imperial cup (284.131 ml) appears in older British and Canadian recipes. A metric cup holds about 5.7% more than a US cup, while an imperial cup holds about 20% more. Using the wrong standard can noticeably affect a recipe.
