Formula and Step-by-Step

teaspoons × 2.17g/tsp ÷ 28.3495g/oz = ounces

Start with 3 teaspoons of cumin
1 teaspoon of cumin = 2.17g

Convert grams to ounces: 6.5 ÷ 28.3495 = 0.23 oz

The same formula works for any amount. Multiply (or divide) by the density, then convert units as needed.

What is an Ounce?

An ounce (oz) is a US customary unit of weight equal to 28.3495 grams or 1/16 of a pound. In cooking, "ounces" refers to weight (avoirdupois ounces), not fluid ounces which measure volume.
