Formula and Step-by-Step
- Start with 0.99 grams of sesame seeds
- 1 cup of sesame seeds = 144g
- 0.99g ÷ 144g/cup = 0.0069 cups × 48 = 0.33 teaspoons
The same formula works for any amount. Multiply (or divide) by the density, then convert units as needed.

Sesame seeds are small and pack tightly. Pour them into the measuring spoon and level off without shaking, which settles the seeds and increases the weight.

Understanding the Units
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.
What is a Teaspoon?
One teaspoon holds about 5 milliliters. There are 3 teaspoons in a tablespoon and 48 teaspoons in a cup. Teaspoon accuracy matters most with leaveners like baking powder and baking soda, where small differences affect rise and texture.
