Understanding Tahini Conversions
The Math Behind This Conversion
Converting 1 metric cup to milliliter is a direct volume conversion. One metric cup equals 250ml, and one milliliter equals 1ml. So 1 metric cup (250ml) equals 250 milliliter.
Measurement Tip
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%.
About Our Data
The density value of 0.96 g/ml for tahini is from the USDA FoodData Central database (ID: 170189). This measurement was taken with tahini poured into the measuring cup.
