Hulled Tahini Measurement Converter
Use the tool below to convert hulled tahini from the measurements in your recipe to the measurements that you need.
Hulled tahini is a smooth paste ground from skinned (hulled) sesame seeds, the pale, mild style used for hummus, dressings, and halva. One metric cup (250 ml) weighs around 240 grams or 8.47 ounces. When a recipe gives tahini in cups but your jar lists grams, converting by weight keeps sauces and bakes balanced.
Tahini separates and clings to cups, so a level scoop is hard to measure. Weighing in grams gives a reliable amount and saves scraping a sticky cup.

Related to Hulled Tahini
Unhulled Tahini
Unhulled tahini is the wholegrain version, equal in weight (240 g per cup) but darker, coarser, and more bitter since it keeps the sesame husk. It swaps 1:1 in hummus, dressings, and halva, adding a stronger, earthier flavour and more fibre and calcium than the smooth hulled style. See our Unhulled Tahini converter.
Peanut Butter
Peanut butter swaps 1:1 for hulled tahini in sauces, satay, and bars, and is thicker and heavier (268 g vs 240 g per cup). It tastes sweeter and richer with a roasted note, where tahini is looser and more bitter, so add a little honey if you want to match tahini's role in sweets. See our Peanut Butter converter.
Almond Butter
Almond butter swaps 1:1 for hulled tahini and is smoother, milder, and a touch sweeter, heavier per cup (256 g vs 240 g). It suits the same dressings and bars; expect a milder, nuttier taste without tahini's savoury, bitter edge. Note it contains tree nuts where tahini does not. See our Almond Butter converter.
Sunflower Seed Butter
Sunflower seed butter keeps the swap nut-free, slightly heavier per cup (250 g vs 240 g) with a milder, earthier taste and less bitterness. It works 1:1 in dressings, sauces, and bars, though it lacks tahini's strong sesame note, so the flavour shifts toward mellow and seedy. See our Sunflower Seed Butter converter.
