things people ask

• How many grams in a teaspoon of almond butter?
  About 5.7 g for a level teaspoon, assuming you scrape the back of the spoon clean against the jar rim. If you leave residue on the spoon, you've actually delivered closer to 4-5 g into the bowl. For baby purees and toddler snacks where 1 teaspoon is the standard intro portion, weighing matters more than for adult uses.
• Is a teaspoon of almond butter a useful baking measurement?
  Rarely. Baking recipes that use almond butter generally call for it by the cup or quarter-cup, since smaller amounts don't move the texture much. The exception is filling thumbprint cookies or stuffing dates — 1 teaspoon (5.7 g) per cookie or per date is a common spec, and at that scale, the per-piece accuracy actually matters.
• How does a teaspoon of almond butter compare to a teaspoon of tahini?
  Tahini is slightly thinner and oilier — a teaspoon runs about 5 g versus 5.7 g for almond butter. In dressings or hummus tweaks where you're substituting one for the other teaspoon-for-teaspoon, the gram difference is negligible. Flavor and bitterness shift more than weight: tahini is more savory, almond butter sweeter and milder.
