One metric cup (250 ml) of vanilla bean paste weighs about 310 grams or 10.93 ounces, denser than vanilla extract thanks to the sugar and seed base. Most recipes call for it by the teaspoon, where 1 tsp weighs around 6.2 grams.

Recipes list vanilla bean paste in teaspoons, but bottles label volume in millilitres or fluid ounces. This page converts between teaspoons, grams, millilitres, and cups so you can hit the right amount whatever measure you have on hand.
