  • These figures use the US cup (240 ml). A metric cup is slightly larger at 250 ml, so it holds a little more. Use the metric cup converter →
  • Cup sizes are not standard worldwide, so the same cup of an ingredient can weigh more or less depending on the country. What is a cup measurement →
  • A tablespoon here is the 15 ml metric standard, about 16.67 to a metric cup, the same size as a UK tablespoon. A US tablespoon is smaller at 14.79 ml, so US cooks measuring with US spoons need slightly more. An Australian tablespoon is larger at 20 ml, so it holds about a third more.

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 tablespoons.

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 tablespoons.
