Crushed walnuts are walnuts broken into small pieces, commonly used as a topping for cakes, biscuits, ice cream, and salads. One metric cup (250 ml) of crushed walnuts weighs around 124 grams or 4.37 ounces. They pack more tightly into a cup than walnut halves do, so the two forms are not interchangeable by volume.

Crushed pieces settle into the gaps of a measuring cup more than halves do, so a cup of crushed walnuts (124 g) weighs notably more than a cup of walnut halves (106 g). Weighing in grams removes the ambiguity.

Also known as

  • chopped walnuts
  • ground walnuts

Walnut halves weigh less per cup (106 g vs 124 g for crushed), so a cup measure gives different amounts depending on which form you use. Always convert by grams when a recipe specifies one form and you have the other. See what 1 US cup of walnuts is in ounces.

Pecans and crushed walnuts both appear as toppings and mix-ins in baking. Pecans are lighter per cup (109 g vs 124 g for crushed walnuts) and have a sweeter, butterier flavour. Swap by weight. See what 1 US cup of pecans is in ounces.
