How to measure sesame seeds

It pours freely, so fill a dry measuring cup until it overflows and sweep the top level with a straight edge. It hardly packs down, so a leveled cup comes out close to the table every time.

Other charts may list a different weight for a cup of sesame seeds: it depends on how the cup is filled and on the brand. The numbers on this page come from one measured USDA portion (1 cup = 144 g), the same data the LevelSpoon converter uses, so the page and the app always agree.

US cups and spoons (1 cup = 236.6 ml). “≈” marks the nearest amount you can measure, within 2.5 %.
