How Much Is 1 Ounce of Sesame Seeds in Cups?
Converting 1 ounce of sesame seeds to cups gives 0.20 cups. First convert to grams (1 oz = 28.35g), then divide by the density of sesame seeds (144g per cup). Each ingredient fills a different volume at the same weight.
Formula and Step-by-Step
- Start with 1 ounce of sesame seeds
- Convert ounces to grams: 1 × 28.35 = 28.35g
- 1 cup of sesame seeds = 144g
- 28.35g ÷ 144g/cup = 0.20 cups
The same formula works for any amount. Multiply (or divide) by the density, then convert units as needed.
Measuring Tip
Ground and whole sesame seeds have different densities. Make sure you are using the form your recipe specifies.
