How Much Is 0.16 Ounces of Flaxseed in Tablespoons?
0.16 ounces of flaxseed equals 0.49 tbsp. That's 4.54g, and Flaxseed has a density of 148g per cup. Because ounces measure weight and tablespoons measure volume, the result depends on the ingredient's density.
Formula and Step-by-Step
- Start with 0.16 ounces of flaxseed
- Convert ounces to grams: 0.16 × 28.35 = 4.54g
- 1 cup of flaxseed = 148g
- 4.54g ÷ 148g/cup = 0.03 cups × 16 = 0.49 tablespoons
The same formula works for any amount. Multiply (or divide) by the density, then convert units as needed.
Measuring Tip
For the most consistent results, weigh flaxseed on a kitchen scale. Small seeds are easy to over-measure by volume.

Understanding the Units
What is an Ounce?
Weight ounces and fluid ounces are different measurements. A fluid ounce measures volume (29.574 ml), while an ounce measures weight (28.35g). They only align for water, where 1 fl oz weighs approximately 1 oz.
What is a Tablespoon?
Tablespoon sizes differ by country. A US tablespoon is 14.787 ml, close to the 15 ml metric standard used in most countries. An Australian tablespoon is 20 ml, about 35% larger than US. An imperial tablespoon is 17.758 ml. If your recipe comes from Australia, the larger tablespoon size can make a real difference.
