How to Measure Tahini Correctly

Tahini should be stirred well before measuring, as the oil can separate. Measure by spooning it into the measuring cup and levelling it off. For accuracy, use a kitchen scale. Tahini's thick consistency means it can be difficult to measure precisely by volume.

Understanding Tahini Measurements

Tahini is a paste made from ground sesame seeds. One cup of tahini weighs approximately 255 grams. It's thick and oily, similar to peanut butter, and can separate if not stirred.

Common Uses in Baking & Cooking

Tahini is used in hummus, dressings, sauces, and as a spread. It's a staple in Middle Eastern cuisine and adds richness and nuttiness to dishes. It's also used in desserts like halva. If you need a substitute, see our Tahini substitution guide.

Storage and Handling Tips

Store tahini at room temperature in a cool, dark place. It can be kept for up to a year. If the oil separates, stir it back in. If it develops an off smell or changes colour, discard it.
