Formula and Step-by-Step

teaspoons × 3.54g/tsp ÷ 28.3495g/oz = ounces

Start with 1.5 teaspoons of quinoa
1 teaspoon of quinoa = 3.54g
1.5 × 3.54 = 5.31g
Convert grams to ounces: 5.31 ÷ 28.3495 = 0.19 oz

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

Measuring Tip

Pour grains into the measuring spoon and level off. Do not shake or tap, as this settles the grains and increases the weight.
