Formula and Step-by-Step

(ounces × 28.35g/oz) ÷ 148g/cup × 16 = tablespoons
  1. Start with 0.98 ounces of flaxseed
  2. Convert ounces to grams: 0.98 × 28.35 = 27.78g
  3. 1 cup of flaxseed = 148g
  4. 27.78g ÷ 148g/cup = 0.19 cups × 16 = 3.00 tablespoons

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

Measuring Tip

Ground and whole flaxseed have different densities. Make sure you are using the form your recipe specifies.

Frequently Asked Questions

About 3.00 tbsp, based on flaxseed having a density of 148g per cup. The exact amount depends on how the ingredient is measured and the specific product.
First convert ounces to grams (1 ounce = 28.3495g), then divide by 148 (grams per cup), then multiply by 16 to get tablespoons. For 0.98 ounces: 0.98 × 28.3495 = 27.78g, then 27.78 ÷ 148 = 0.19 cups × 16 = 3.00 tbsp.
For the most accurate results, weigh flaxseed on a kitchen scale. If measuring by volume, spoon the ingredient into the measuring spoon and level it off with a straight edge rather than scooping directly.
Weight-per-cup values vary because of differences in how the ingredient is measured (spooned vs scooped), grind size, moisture content, and settling during storage. Our values use standardized measurement methods from established culinary references.
Reverse the conversion: 3.00 tbsp ÷ 16 = 0.18772 cups, then 0.18772 × 148g/cup = 27.78g, then 27.78g ÷ 28.3495 = 0.98 ounces. Or use the Tablespoons to Ounces converter.
