How this conversion works

Milliliters measure volume while grams measure weight. Because Tomato paste has a density of 1.06 g/mL, 10 mL weighs 11 g — not 10 g as it would for water. This converter uses the real density of Tomato paste 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.
