How Much Is 35 Grams of Sunflower Seeds in Cups?
35 grams of sunflower seeds equals 0.25 cups. Sunflower seeds has a density of 140g per cup. Because grams measure weight and cups measure volume, the result depends on the ingredient's density.
Formula and Step-by-Step
- Start with 35 grams of sunflower seeds
- 1 cup of sunflower seeds = 140g
- 35g ÷ 140g/cup = 0.25 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?
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?
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.
