How to measure pistachios accurately
For the most reliable baking results, weigh pistachios on a kitchen scale rather than scooping by volume. One US cup of pistachios weighs about 123 grams (4.34 oz), but the exact figure changes with how tightly it's packed and the brand. Scooping straight from the bag compacts pistachios 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: Buy pistachios already shelled when a recipe needs a cup — shelling enough by hand is tedious, and you'll lose track of the yield.
