How ¼ cup of pistachios works out
One US cup of pistachios weighs 123 grams, so multiply by 0.25 to get a quarter cup: 123 × 0.25 = 30.8 g. In the other direction, 30.8 g of pistachios divided by 123 brings you back to ¼ cup.
If you have no scales, ¼ cup is 4 level tablespoons of pistachios (12 teaspoons), because a US cup holds 16 tablespoons. In a 250 ml metric cup — the Australian, New Zealand and modern UK standard — the same fraction is 32.5 g.
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.
