Measuring Tip
Sesame seeds are small and pack tightly. Pour them into the measuring cup and level off without shaking, which settles the seeds and increases the weight.
Understanding the Units
What is a Cup?
The US cup (236.588 ml) is slightly smaller than the metric cup used in Australia and some other countries (250 ml). When following recipes from different countries, check which cup standard is being used.
What is a Gram?
A gram (g) is a metric unit of mass equal to 1/1000 of a kilogram. It is the standard weight measurement for precise baking worldwide. Professional bakers prefer grams because they are more accurate than volume measurements.

Close, but not exactly. The cups to grams conversion for sesame seeds may vary slightly between brands depending on moisture content and how the ingredient is measured.
