Formula and Step-by-Step

teaspoons × 2.92g/tsp ÷ 28.3495g/oz = ounces
  1. Start with 2 teaspoons of sunflower seeds
  2. 1 teaspoon of sunflower seeds = 2.92g
  3. 2 × 2.92 = 5.83g
  4. Convert grams to ounces: 5.83 ÷ 28.3495 = 0.21 oz

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