Chopped nuts: cups to grams
Chopped walnuts weigh about 117 g per cup, chopped pecans 110 g, slivered almonds 108 g, whole almonds 143 g. Ground nuts are lighter (see almond flour) and nut halves lighter still because of the air between them.
1 cup chopped nuts = 117 g · 1 tbsp = 7.3 g · 100 g = 0.85 cups
Based on 117 g per US cup of chopped nuts, spooned and levelled. Real-world cups vary by about ±10 % for powders.
How to measure chopped nuts
Scoop lightly and level. 100 g of nuts is a generous cup of chopped walnuts or pecans.
Weight is the only measure that does not depend on the container or on how the ingredient was filled. The figure of 117 g per US cup comes from USDA FoodData Central; other charts differ by a few percent, which is within the spread between two cooks filling the same cup.
