things people ask

• When does a recipe call for sunflower seeds by the teaspoon?
  Mostly in finishing contexts: a teaspoon scattered over a fried egg, a teaspoon worked into a small batch of vinaigrette, or a teaspoon mixed into a single bowl of porridge. Spice blends and seed-based gomasio mixes also measure sunflower kernels by the teaspoon when they're one component among several.
• Is a teaspoon of sunflower seeds enough to add real crunch to a dish?
  Toasted, yes — even 2.92 g of kernels concentrated on top of one slice of toast or a single yogurt cup is plenty of textural contrast. Untoasted kernels are softer and need a larger volume to register the same way. If your teaspoon is going onto something already crunchy, push to a tablespoon instead.
• How many teaspoons of sunflower seeds equal a tablespoon?
  Three level teaspoons make one tablespoon, so three teaspoons of shelled kernels weigh about 8.75 g — close to 3 × 2.92 g with a sliver of rounding. If you're scaling a small recipe up by a factor of three or four, switching from teaspoons to tablespoons saves time without changing the gram total meaningfully.
