Formula and Step-by-Step
- Start with 79.98 ounces of flaxseed
- Convert ounces to grams: 79.98 × 28.35 = 2,267.39g
- 1 cup of flaxseed = 148g
- 2,267.39g ÷ 148g/cup = 15.32 cups × 16 = 245.12 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.
