What Are Grams and Tablespoons?

A gram (g) measures mass; a tablespoon (tbsp) measures volume (~14.7868 mL). Density is required to convert between them.1

Sunflower Seeds Density and Formula

Bulk density for small seeds varies by size and brand. A working density of ~0.5 g/mL yields ~7.39 g per tablespoon.

tablespoons = grams ÷ 7.39

grams = tablespoons × 7.39

General formula: tablespoons = grams ÷ (14.7868 × density). Results are approximate.2

Note: Seed size and whether kernels are whole or chopped affect packing density.
