Formula and Step-by-Step

(ounces × 28.35g/oz) ÷ 144g/cup × 16 = tablespoons
  1. Start with 10 ounces of sesame seeds
  2. Convert ounces to grams: 10 × 28.35 = 283.50g
  3. 1 cup of sesame seeds = 144g
  4. 283.50g ÷ 144g/cup = 1.97 cups × 16 = 31.50 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 sesame seeds on a kitchen scale. Small seeds are easy to over-measure by volume.

Understanding the Units

A tablespoon is roughly the volume of a large soup spoon. In precise terms, 1 US tablespoon equals 14.787 ml, which is very close to the 15 ml metric standard used in most of the world. Three teaspoons make one tablespoon.

Frequently Asked Questions

About 31.50 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 10 ounces: 10 × 28.3495 = 283.50g, then 283.50 ÷ 144 = 1.97 cups × 16 = 31.50 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: 31.50 tbsp ÷ 16 = 1.96872 cups, then 1.96872 × 144g/cup = 283.50g, then 283.50g ÷ 28.3495 = 10 ounces. Or use the Tablespoons to Ounces converter.
