How Much Is 0.31 Pounds of Sunflower Seeds in Cups?
Converting 0.31 pounds of sunflower seeds to cups gives 1.00 cup. First convert to grams (0.31 lb = 140.61g), 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 0.31 pounds of sunflower seeds
- Convert pounds to grams: 0.31 × 453.59 = 140.61g
- 1 cup of sunflower seeds = 140g
- 140.61g ÷ 140g/cup = 1.00 cup
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 sunflower seeds on a kitchen scale. Small seeds are easy to over-measure by volume.

Understanding the Units
What is a Pound?
The abbreviation "lb" comes from the Latin word "libra." One pound equals exactly 453.59237 grams. For rough mental math, 1 pound is slightly less than half a kilogram.
What is a Cup?
In US cooking, a cup measures volume, not weight. One standard US cup holds 236.588 ml of liquid. Because different ingredients have different densities, a cup of one ingredient can weigh very differently from a cup of another.
