How to measure pumpkin seeds accurately
For the most reliable baking results, weigh pumpkin seeds on a kitchen scale rather than scooping by volume. One US cup of pumpkin seeds weighs about 129 grams (4.55 oz), but the exact figure changes with how tightly it's packed and the brand. Scooping straight from the bag compacts pumpkin seeds 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: The green pepitas used in recipes are the shelled seeds; the whole white seeds straight from a pumpkin are larger, lighter per cup and need roasting in their shells.
