How to convert ounces of ground flaxseed to cups
Weight ounces first become grams (1 oz = 28.35 g), so 6 oz = 170 g. One US cup of ground flaxseed weighs 100 g, so 170 ÷ 100 = 1.7 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 6 ounces of ground flaxseed?
6 ounces of ground flaxseed is about 1⅔ cups (1.7 cups), based on 100 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, 6 ounces of ground flaxseed is 1.61 cups.
Should I weigh ground flaxseed 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.
