How Much Is 16 Ounces of Rye Flour in Cups?
16 ounces of rye flour equals 4.45 cups. That's 453.59g, and Rye flour has a density of 102g 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 16 ounces of rye flour
- Convert ounces to grams: 16 × 28.35 = 453.59g
- 1 cup of rye flour = 102g
- 453.59g ÷ 102g/cup = 4.45 cups
The same formula works for any amount. Multiply (or divide) by the density, then convert units as needed.

Different flour types have very different weights per cup. Always check the specific flour your recipe calls for rather than using a generic "flour" conversion.
