How Much Is 24 Tablespoons of Flaxseed in Ounces?
24 tablespoons of flaxseed weighs 7.83 oz. This is based on flaxseed having a density of 148g per cup. Because tablespoons measure volume and ounces measure weight, the result depends on the ingredient, and a different ingredient would give a different result for the same 24 tablespoons.
Formula and Step-by-Step
- Start with 24 tablespoons of flaxseed
- 1 tablespoon of flaxseed = 9.25g
- 24 × 9.25 = 222g
- Convert grams to ounces: 222 ÷ 28.3495 = 7.83 oz
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 flaxseed on a kitchen scale. Small seeds are easy to over-measure by volume.
