Measuring Tip

For the most consistent results, weigh chia seeds on a kitchen scale. Small seeds are easy to over-measure by volume.

Understanding the Units

What is an Ounce?

An ounce (oz) is a US customary unit of weight equal to 28.3495 grams or 1/16 of a pound. In cooking, "ounces" refers to weight (avoirdupois ounces), not fluid ounces which measure volume.

What is a Cup?

The US cup (236.588 ml) is slightly smaller than the metric cup used in Australia and some other countries (250 ml). When following recipes from different countries, check which cup standard is being used.

Close, but not exactly. The ounces to cups conversion for chia seeds may vary slightly between brands depending on moisture content and how the ingredient is measured.

The same weight of different ingredients fills different volumes because each ingredient has a different density. An ounce of chia seeds fills a different number of cups than an ounce of a lighter or heavier ingredient. That is why this converter needs to know which ingredient you are measuring.
