Formula and Step-by-Step
- Start with 0.11 ounces of cumin
- Convert ounces to grams: 0.11 × 28.35 = 3.12g
- 1 cup of cumin = 104g
- 3.12g ÷ 104g/cup = 0.03 cups × 16 = 0.48 tablespoons
The same formula works for any amount. Multiply (or divide) by the density, then convert units as needed.
Measuring Tip
Ground spices like cumin settle and compact during storage. Stir or fluff before measuring by volume for a consistent amount.

An imperial tablespoon is 17.758 ml. If your recipe comes from Australia, the larger tablespoon size can make a real difference.
