How Much Is 4 Tablespoons of Sunflower Seeds in Grams?
4 tablespoons of sunflower seeds weighs 35.00 g. This is based on sunflower seeds having a density of 140g per cup. Because tablespoons measure volume and grams measure weight, the result depends on the ingredient, and a different ingredient would give a different result for the same 4 tablespoons.
Formula and Step-by-Step
- Start with 4 tablespoons of sunflower seeds
- 1 tablespoon of sunflower seeds = 8.75g
- 4 × 8.75 = 35g
The same formula works for any amount. Multiply (or divide) by the density, then convert units as needed.

Understanding the Units
What is a Tablespoon?
One tablespoon holds about 15 milliliters. There are 16 tablespoons in a cup and 3 teaspoons in a tablespoon. In baking, tablespoon measurements are used for butter, oil, honey, and other ingredients where a full cup would be too much.
What is a Gram?
Grams are the preferred unit in professional kitchens and bakeries because they allow exact recipe scaling. To double a recipe, simply double the gram values. No need to worry about how tightly an ingredient is packed into a cup.
