2.9 g1 teaspoon

9 g1 tablespoon

USDA/King Arthur-style hulled sunflower seeds: 1 tbsp about 8.8 g, so 1 tsp about 2.9 g.

Instead of Sunflower seed

Melon seeds
Use the same weight, lightly toasted; they are softer but give a similar mild nutty finish.
Sesame seed
Use about 70% of the weight, toasted; the flavour is stronger, so do not overdo it.
Peanut
Use the same weight, roasted and chopped; it is harder and more savoury, so chop finely for garnishes.
