How to measure pine nuts accurately
For the most reliable baking results, weigh pine nuts on a kitchen scale rather than scooping by volume. One US cup of pine nuts weighs about 135 grams (4.76 oz), but the exact figure changes with how tightly it's packed and the brand. Scooping straight from the bag compacts pine nuts and can leave you 15 to 20% over, so spoon it into the cup and level it off for the closest match to the figures above. Use the tables for quick reference, or the converter for any custom amount in cups, grams, ounces or tablespoons.
Tip: Toast pine nuts over low heat and stir constantly — their high oil content makes them burn almost instantly once they start to colour.
