How ⅓ cup of tahini works out
One US cup of tahini weighs 240 grams, so multiply by 0.333 to get a third of a cup: 240 × 0.333 = 80 g. In the other direction, 80 g of tahini divided by 240 brings you back to ⅓ cup.
If you have no scales, ⅓ cup is 5.333 level tablespoons of tahini (16 teaspoons), because a US cup holds 16 tablespoons. In a 250 ml metric cup — the Australian, New Zealand and modern UK standard — the same fraction is 84.5 g.
Tip: Stir tahini thoroughly to reincorporate the separated oil before measuring — the paste at the bottom of an unstirred jar is far thicker and drier.
