How does viscosity affect the mL-to-grams conversion for Tahini?

Viscosity doesn't change the density — it just makes measuring harder. The gram weight per mL is the same for thin and thick forms.

Can I use this table for heated Tahini?

Heat may slightly lower density due to thermal expansion. For most cooking the change is under 1–2 %.

Whisk into hummus, dressings, or cookies; stir if separated before measuring.

How this conversion works

Milliliters measure volume while grams measure weight. Because Tahini has a density of 1.09 g/mL, 10 mL weighs 11 g — not 10 g as it would for water. This converter uses the real density of Tahini so every measurement is accurate.

Measurement notes

Values are rounded to the nearest whole gram. Actual weight can vary slightly with compaction, temperature, and brand. For precision baking, a kitchen scale is always more reliable than volume measurements.
