FAQ
- Should I tap the tablespoon to settle Sesame seeds?
- No. Tapping compacts the grain and adds 1–2 g per level spoon. Fill gently and scrape the top with a knife.
- 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.
