How Much Is 2 Teaspoons of Sunflower Seeds in Ounces?
2 teaspoons of sunflower seeds weighs 0.21 oz. This is based on sunflower seeds having a density of 140g 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 2 teaspoons.
Formula and Step-by-Step
- Start with 2 teaspoons of sunflower seeds
- 1 teaspoon of sunflower seeds = 2.92g
- 2 × 2.92 = 5.83g
- 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.
Measuring Tip
For the most consistent results, weigh sunflower seeds on a kitchen scale. Small seeds are easy to over-measure by volume.
