Single-conversion pages for tahini
Working with tahini
Tahini sits in the nuts, seeds & butters group, where a cup lands in the same range as water, but the material still compacts differently depending on how you fill the cup. Runny tahini pours close to 240 g per cup; stiff, bottom-of-the-jar tahini weighs more.
If you are converting a whole recipe rather than a single line, the Recipe to Metric converter matches every ingredient to its own density in one pass, and the Recipe Scaler resizes the batch first so you only convert once.
