How Much Is 18.5 Grams of Flaxseed in Teaspoons?
18.5 grams of flaxseed equals 6.00 tsp. Flaxseed has a density of 148g 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 18.5 grams of flaxseed
- 1 cup of flaxseed = 148g
- 18.5g ÷ 148g/cup = 0.13 cups × 48 = 6.00 teaspoons
The same formula works for any amount. Multiply (or divide) by the density, then convert units as needed.
Measuring Tip
For the most consistent results, weigh flaxseed on a kitchen scale. Small seeds are easy to over-measure by volume.
