How Much Is 1.5 Teaspoons of Flaxseed in Ounces?
1.5 teaspoons of flaxseed weighs 0.16 oz. This is based on flaxseed having a density of 148g per cup. Because teaspoons measure volume and ounces measure weight, the result depends on the ingredient, and a different ingredient would give a different result for the same 1.5 teaspoons.
Formula and Step-by-Step
- Start with 1.5 teaspoons of flaxseed
- 1 teaspoon of flaxseed = 3.08g
- 1.5 × 3.08 = 4.63g
- Convert grams to ounces: 4.63 ÷ 28.3495 = 0.16 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.

Understanding the Units
What is a Teaspoon?
A US teaspoon is 4.929 ml, a metric teaspoon is exactly 5 ml, and an imperial teaspoon is 5.919 ml. The metric and US versions are nearly identical (1.4% difference), but the imperial teaspoon is 20% larger. For most spices the difference is negligible, but for leaveners like baking powder it can affect the result.
What is an Ounce?
Weight ounces and fluid ounces are different measurements. A fluid ounce measures volume (29.574 ml), while an ounce measures weight (28.35g). They only align for water, where 1 fl oz weighs approximately 1 oz.
