Understanding Tahini Conversions
The Math Behind This Conversion
To convert 1 gram of tahini to us cup, we divide by the density (0.96 g/ml). First, 1g ÷ 0.96 g/ml = 1.0ml. Then, dividing by the us cup volume (236.59ml): 1.0ml ÷ 236.59ml = 0 us cup.

Measuring tahini by volume is notoriously inconsistent because the pieces don't pack uniformly. Weighing with a kitchen scale gives much more reliable results. The density value we use (0.96 g/ml) represents an average, but your actual measurement may vary by 15-20%.
