How Much Is 6 Ounces of Sunflower Seeds in Cups?
Converting 6 ounces of sunflower seeds to cups gives 1.21 cups. First convert to grams (6 oz = 170.10g), then divide by the density of sunflower seeds (140g per cup). Each ingredient fills a different volume at the same weight.
Formula and Step-by-Step
- Start with 6 ounces of sunflower seeds
- Convert ounces to grams: 6 × 28.35 = 170.10g
- 1 cup of sunflower seeds = 140g

The same formula works for any amount. Multiply (or divide) by the density, then convert units as needed.
