Formula and Step-by-Step

(ounces × 28.35g/oz) ÷ 144g/cup × 16 = tablespoons
  1. Start with 0.18 ounces of sesame seeds
  2. Convert ounces to grams: 0.18 × 28.35 = 5.10g
  3. 1 cup of sesame seeds = 144g
  4. 5.10g ÷ 144g/cup = 0.04 cups × 16 = 0.57 tablespoons

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

Measuring Tip

Sesame seeds are small and pack tightly. Pour them into the measuring spoon and level off without shaking, which settles the seeds and increases the weight.

Understanding the Units

What is an Ounce?

An ounce (oz) is a US customary unit of weight equal to 28.3495 grams or 1/16 of a pound. In cooking, "ounces" refers to weight (avoirdupois ounces), not fluid ounces which measure volume.

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.

Frequently Asked Questions

About 0.57 tbsp, based on sesame seeds having a density of 144g 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 144 (grams per cup), then multiply by 16 to get tablespoons. For 0.18 ounces: 0.18 × 28.3495 = 5.10g, then 5.10 ÷ 144 = 0.04 cups × 16 = 0.57 tbsp.
For the most accurate results, weigh sesame seeds 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: 0.57 tbsp ÷ 16 = 0.0354369 cups, then 0.0354369 × 144g/cup = 5.10g, then 5.10g ÷ 28.3495 = 0.18 ounces. Or use the Tablespoons to Ounces converter.
