How Much Is 280 Grams of Sunflower Seeds in Teaspoons?
280 grams of sunflower seeds equals 96.00 tsp. 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 280 grams of sunflower seeds
- 1 cup of sunflower seeds = 140g
- 280g ÷ 140g/cup = 2 cups × 48 = 96.00 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 sunflower seeds on a kitchen scale. Small seeds are easy to over-measure by volume.

Understanding the Units
What is a Gram?
Grams are the preferred unit in professional kitchens and bakeries because they allow exact recipe scaling. To double a recipe, simply double the gram values. No need to worry about how tightly an ingredient is packed into a cup.
What is a Teaspoon?
One teaspoon holds about 5 milliliters. There are 3 teaspoons in a tablespoon and 48 teaspoons in a cup. Teaspoon accuracy matters most with leaveners like baking powder and baking soda, where small differences affect rise and texture.
