A recipe calls for 1 cup chopped walnuts — how many grams should I weigh out?

About 120 g as a starting estimate, but since chopped nut volume varies with chop size, it's more reliable to weigh 100-120 g of nuts before chopping if your recipe gives a gram amount — chop size won't change the total weight.

Why is the chopped nuts conversion less precise than other ingredients on this page?

Unlike flour or sugar, nuts come in very different shapes and sizes (whole, halved, roughly chopped, finely chopped), and how finely they're chopped significantly changes how they pack into a measuring cup. The 120 g per cup figure is a reasonable average, but expect more variation than with finer, more uniform ingredients.

Chopped Nuts: 120 Grams

Approximate — varies by nut type and how finely chopped.

Chopped nuts weigh roughly 120 g per cup, similar to flour, but this is the most approximate conversion in this list — the actual weight depends heavily on the type of nut (almonds, walnuts, pecans) and how finely they're chopped. Finely chopped nuts pack more densely than roughly chopped pieces, so for precise baking, weighing the nuts before chopping is more reliable than measuring chopped nuts by volume.
