Use the tool below to convert chia seeds from the measurements in your recipe to the measurements that you need.
Chia seeds are tiny black or white seeds from the chia plant, prized for their ability to soak up liquid and form a gel. One metric cup (250 ml) of chia seeds weighs around 170 grams or 6 ounces. They're used whole in puddings, smoothies, and baked goods, and as a vegan egg substitute when stirred into water.
Chia seeds are usually measured in tablespoons or grams rather than cups, and small amounts make a big difference in how a recipe sets. Weighing in grams gives the most reliable results across recipes.

Recipes swap the two freely, so you can follow either without changing quantities or weighing any differently.
- What is 100g of chia seeds in ounces?
- 100 grams of chia seeds is 3.53 ounces. This is the same for any ingredient, since grams and ounces are both weight units and do not change with what you are weighing. 200 grams is 7.06 ounces and 50 grams is 1.76 ounces.

Ground Flaxseed
Ground flaxseed is the other go-to seed for vegan egg replacements. Both form a gel when stirred with water, but flaxseed is lighter (113 g per cup vs 170 g for chia) and gives a slightly nuttier flavour. You can swap them 1:1 by tablespoon, though chia produces a thicker, more neutral-tasting gel. See our Ground Flaxseed converter.
