How to Measure Nuts in Cups
Whole nuts are measured by pouring into the measuring cup until it overflows, then sweeping a straight edge across the top to level off. Don't shake or press down. Nut weight per cup varies significantly by type — whole almonds (143g), walnuts (120g), cashews (130g), and pecans (109g) all differ.
For baking recipes that call for nuts, weighing is always more accurate than measuring by cup because of how differently each nut type fills the same volume. Use the calculator above for almonds, or see the specific nut pages linked below.
