How to convert ounces of chia seeds to cups
Weight ounces first become grams (1 oz = 28.35 g), so 1 oz = 28 g. One US cup of chia seeds weighs 160 g, so 28 ÷ 160 = 0.18 cups.
Grains settle when shaken, so pour them in loosely and level off rather than tapping the cup.

Frequently asked questions
How many cups is 1 ounce of chia seeds?
1 ounce of chia seeds is about 2¾ tablespoons (0.18 cups), based on 160 g per level US cup.

Slightly. UK, Australian and New Zealand recipes use a 250 ml metric cup, which is about 6% bigger than a US cup (236.6 ml). In metric cups, 1 ounce of chia seeds is 0.17 cups.
Should I weigh chia seeds or measure it by volume?
Grains settle when shaken, so pour them in loosely and level off rather than tapping the cup. Weighing is always more accurate, which is why grams are the safest choice for baking.
