How Much Is 0.18 Ounces of Flaxseed in Tablespoons?
0.18 ounces of flaxseed equals 0.55 tbsp. That's 5.10g, 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 0.18 ounces of flaxseed
- Convert ounces to grams: 0.18 × 28.35 = 5.10g
- 1 cup of flaxseed = 148g
- 5.10g ÷ 148g/cup = 0.03 cups × 16 = 0.55 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.
