How ¼ cup of sunflower seeds works out
One US cup of sunflower seeds weighs 140 grams, so multiply by 0.25 to get a quarter cup: 140 × 0.25 = 35 g. In the other direction, 35 g of sunflower seeds divided by 140 brings you back to ¼ cup.
If you have no scales, ¼ cup is 4 level tablespoons of sunflower seeds (12 teaspoons), because a US cup holds 16 tablespoons. In a 250 ml metric cup — the Australian, New Zealand and modern UK standard — the same fraction is 37 g.
Tip: Use unsalted sunflower kernels in baking so you control the salt; toast them lightly first to deepen their flavour.
