How Much Is 10 Ounces of Sunflower Seeds in Cups?
10 ounces of sunflower seeds equals 2.02 cups. 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 10 ounces of sunflower seeds
- Convert ounces to grams: 10 × 28.35 = 283.50g
- 1 cup of sunflower seeds = 140g
- 283.50g ÷ 140g/cup = 2.02 cups
The same formula works for any amount. Multiply (or divide) by the density, then convert units as needed.
Measuring Tip
Ground and whole sunflower seeds have different densities. Make sure you are using the form your recipe specifies.
