How much does a cup of walnuts weigh?
A standard US cup of walnuts weighs about 125 grams (4.41 ounces). That makes it almost the same weight as a cup of all-purpose flour, and lighter than a cup of granulated sugar (200 g). This is why a converter that uses the same factor for every ingredient will give wrong answers: walnuts has its own density, and recipes depend on it.

Values are reference weights for level, unpacked measures unless the ingredient is normally packed. Brand, moisture, temperature and how firmly you fill the cup can shift the result by a few percent, so for precision baking weigh walnuts on a kitchen scale and use the cup figure only as a guide. To understand why these numbers differ between ingredients, read our guide on why a cup of flour is not a cup of sugar, or see why weighing beats measuring cups.
