About teaspoons Tahini (teaspoons)
Teaspoons of Tahini. Measured by US teaspoon (= 5 mL = 1/3 US tablespoon = 1/48 US cup per FDA 21 CFR 101.9). The teaspoon is the standard US measure for small dry ingredients (salt, sugar, baking powder, spices) + small liquid amounts (vanilla extract, lemon juice). Common multiples: 1/4 tsp (1.25 mL), 1/2 tsp (2.5 mL), 1 tsp (5 mL). 'Heaping teaspoon' is informally ~50% more than level (can vary widely). Most US measuring-spoon sets include 1/4, 1/2, 1, and 1 tablespoon (= 3 tsp) increments. Tahini is a smooth paste made from ground hulled (or sometimes unhulled) sesame seeds (Sesamum indicum) — foundational to Middle Eastern + Mediterranean + North African cuisines, particularly Lebanese, Israeli, Syrian, Jordanian, Palestinian, Egyptian, Turkish, Greek, and Cypriot. Density ~0.960 g/mL (less dense than water, due to high oil content — sesame seeds are ~50% oil). 1 cup tahini = 230 g typical. Hulled sesame tahini (lighter color, milder flavor — Soom, Joyva, Mighty Sesame Co) is more common in US grocery; unhulled or 'whole' sesame tahini (darker, slightly more bitter, higher calcium content from the seed hulls) is preferred by some traditionalists. Major US tahini brands: Soom Foods (Philadelphia-based, family-run, premium), Mighty Sesame Co (squeeze bottle), Cedar's, Trader Joe's, Whole Foods 365. Used as the base for: hummus (chickpea + tahini + lemon + garlic, the breakthrough US Middle Eastern food since 1990s — Sabra is the #1 US hummus brand), baba ganoush (eggplant dip), tahini sauce for falafel + shawarma, halva (sesame candy), salad dressings, cookie + baked goods substitute for other nut butters. Stir oil-separation before use; refrigerate after opening. Density: 0.960 g/mL (used to convert volume measurements to mass).
About grams Tahini (grams)
Grams of Tahini. Measured by mass in grams (g) — the metric base mass unit used in scientific + international + professional baking contexts. Mass measurement is more accurate than volume measurement because it eliminates packing-density variation (1 cup of flour can vary 10-20% by mass depending on aerated-vs-packed scoop technique). Most modern baking + pastry recipes from professional pastry chefs (Sébastien Bruno, Pierre Hermé, Stella Parks 'BraveTart', Cook's Illustrated) specify gram measurements. A small digital kitchen scale (~$15-30) provides 1-g resolution.
