How Much Is 1 Ounce of Sunflower Seeds in Tablespoons?
Converting 1 ounce of sunflower seeds to tablespoons gives 3.24 tbsp. First convert to grams (1 oz = 28.35g), then divide by the density of sunflower seeds (140g per cup). Each ingredient fills a different volume at the same weight.
Formula and Step-by-Step
- Start with 1 ounce of sunflower seeds
- Convert ounces to grams: 1 × 28.35 = 28.35g
- 1 cup of sunflower seeds = 140g
- 28.35g ÷ 140g/cup = 0.20 cups × 16 = 3.24 tablespoons
The same formula works for any amount. Multiply (or divide) by the density, then convert units as needed.
Measuring Tip
