FAQ
- Why does a packed cup of Sesame seeds show a smaller volume for the same grams?
- Because packing reduces air gaps: the same mass fits in less cup volume. The table assumes loose fill as the reference.
- 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.
