How Much Is 50 Grams of Sunflower Seeds in Cups?
50 grams of sunflower seeds equals 0.36 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 50 grams of sunflower seeds
- 1 cup of sunflower seeds = 140g
- 50g ÷ 140g/cup = 0.36 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.
