Sunflower seed butter is roasted sunflower seeds ground into a smooth, spreadable paste, popular in school lunches and allergy-friendly baking. One metric cup (250 ml) weighs around 250 grams or 8.82 ounces. When a recipe lists it in cups but your jar shows grams, converting by weight saves scraping a sticky measure.

Seed butter is thick and clings to cups, so a level scoop is hard to judge. Weighing on a scale catches the few grams that cling to a cup and would otherwise be left behind.
