How to convert ounces of quinoa to cups
Weight ounces first become grams (1 oz = 28.35 g), so 6 oz = 170 g. One US cup of quinoa weighs 170 g, so 170 ÷ 170 = 1 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 quinoa?
6 ounces of quinoa is 1 cup, based on 170 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 quinoa is 0.95 cups.
Should I weigh quinoa 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.
