Pecans are used in pies, cookies, brownies, pralines, and salads. One metric cup (250 ml) of pecan halves weighs around 109 grams or 3.84 ounces. When a recipe calls for pecans by the cup, packing tightly can add 20% or more over a loosely poured measure.

Pecan halves are irregular in shape, so they fill a cup with more air than denser ingredients. Weighing gives a consistent amount every time.

Peanuts and pecans are both whole nuts used in baking, but they have different flavours and densities. Peanuts weigh more per cup (154 g vs 109 g), so always convert by weight when swapping. See peanuts in ounces.

Cashew nuts can replace pecans in many baking recipes for a milder flavour. Cashews are denser than pecans (145 g vs 109 g per cup), so always swap by weight. See cashew nuts in ounces.

Walnuts are close in weight to pecans (106 g vs 109 g per cup) and work in many of the same recipes, but walnuts have a more bitter, earthy taste. Swap by weight when substituting. See walnuts in ounces.

Crushed walnuts are slightly denser than pecans (124 g vs 109 g per cup) and work in many of the same baking recipes. Swap by weight when substituting one for the other. See crushed walnuts in ounces.
