Formula and Step-by-Step
- Start with 2.65 ounces of chia seeds
- Convert ounces to grams: 2.65 × 28.35 = 75.13g
- 1 cup of chia seeds = 163g
- 75.13g ÷ 163g/cup = 0.46 cups × 16 = 7.37 tablespoons
The same formula works for any amount. Multiply (or divide) by the density, then convert units as needed.
Measuring Tip
Chia seeds are small and pack tightly. Pour them into the measuring spoon and level off without shaking, which settles the seeds and increases the weight.
