Formula and Step-by-Step
- Start with 2 tablespoons of sunflower seeds
- 1 tablespoon of sunflower seeds = 8.75g
- 2 × 8.75 = 17.5g
- Convert grams to ounces: 17.5 ÷ 28.3495 = 0.62 oz
The same formula works for any amount. Multiply (or divide) by the density, then convert units as needed.
Measuring Tip
Sunflower seeds are small and pack tightly. Pour them into the measuring spoon and level off without shaking, which settles the seeds and increases the weight.
