How Much Is 3.55 Ounces of Flaxseed in Cups?
3.55 ounces of flaxseed equals 0.68 cups. That's 100.64g, and Flaxseed has a density of 148g per cup. Because ounces measure weight and cups measure volume, the result depends on the ingredient's density.
Formula and Step-by-Step
- Start with 3.55 ounces of flaxseed
- Convert ounces to grams: 3.55 × 28.35 = 100.64g
- 1 cup of flaxseed = 148g
- 100.64g ÷ 148g/cup = 0.68 cups
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.

Understanding the Units
What is an Ounce?
Ounces are commonly used in US recipes for cheese, meat, chocolate, and other ingredients sold by weight. Many kitchen scales offer both gram and ounce readings.
What is a Cup?
In US cooking, a cup measures volume, not weight. One standard US cup holds 236.588 ml of liquid. Because different ingredients have different densities, a cup of one ingredient can weigh very differently from a cup of another.
