Ground flaxseed is whole flaxseed milled into a fine, nutty powder. One metric cup (250 ml) weighs around 113 grams or 3.99 ounces. It's used as a vegan egg replacement (1 tablespoon plus 3 tablespoons water per egg) and stirred into oatmeal, smoothies, and baked goods for fibre and omega-3.

Recipes often call for ground flaxseed by the teaspoon or tablespoon, while bulk packaging lists weight in grams. Converting between the two keeps egg replacements consistent and stops you over- or under-dosing.

Egg Substitute Calculator

Chia seeds work the same way as ground flaxseed in egg replacements, soaking up water to form a gel. Chia is denser (170 g per cup vs 113 g for flaxseed) and tastes more neutral, so it disappears into bakes more easily. You can swap 1:1 by tablespoon in most recipes. See our Chia Seeds converter.
