FAQ

Does Sesame seeds from a bulk bin weigh the same as pre-packaged?
The ingredient itself yes, but bulk bins may have more humidity and settling. For precise baking, weigh; for cooking, the difference is minor.
Can I swap Sesame seeds for a different granulation without changing the gram count?
By weight the conversion is unchanged — a gram is a gram. Volume readings do shift, so match granulation if a recipe specifies cups.
