How to measure hemp seeds accurately
For the most reliable baking results, weigh hemp seeds on a kitchen scale rather than scooping by volume. One US cup of hemp seeds weighs about 160 grams (5.64 oz), but the exact figure changes with how tightly it's packed and the brand. Scooping straight from the bag compacts hemp seeds and can leave you 15 to 20% over, so spoon it into the cup and level it off for the closest match to the figures above. Use the tables for quick reference, or the converter for any custom amount in cups, grams, ounces or tablespoons.
Tip: Hemp hearts are eaten raw — scatter them on finished dishes rather than cooking them, which dulls their delicate flavour and nutrition.
