Flaxseed should be measured by volume, using a dry measuring cup. Fill it to the top and level it off. For accuracy, use a kitchen scale. Ground flaxseed is more commonly used than whole flaxseed.
Understanding Flaxseed Measurements
Flaxseed (also called linseed) is a small, brown or golden seed. One cup of whole flaxseed weighs approximately 168 grams, while one cup of ground flaxseed weighs about 100 grams. It's high in omega-3 fatty acids and fibre.
Common Uses in Baking & Cooking
Flaxseed is used in baking, smoothies, and as an egg substitute in vegan baking. It adds nutrition and fibre. Ground flaxseed is more easily absorbed by the body than whole flaxseed. If you need a substitute, see our Flaxseed substitution guide.
Storage and Handling Tips
Store flaxseed in an airtight container in the refrigerator or freezer, as the oils can go rancid. Ground flaxseed should be used within a few months. Whole flaxseed can be kept for up to a year.
