Walnuts are used in baking, salads, cereals, and confectionery. One metric cup (250 ml) of walnut halves weighs around 106 grams or 3.74 ounces. When a recipe calls for walnuts by weight, you get the same amount every time regardless of how the halves happen to pack.

Walnut halves are bulky and leave air gaps in a measuring cup, so a cup measure can vary significantly depending on how the nuts settle. A gram weight removes that uncertainty.

Pecans and walnuts are close in weight (109 g vs 106 g per cup) and work in many of the same recipes, but pecans are sweeter and buttery while walnuts are earthier and more bitter. Swap by weight. See pecans in tablespoons.

Cashew nuts are denser than walnuts (145 g vs 106 g per cup) and have a milder, creamier flavour. Swap by weight when using one in place of the other in baking. See cashew nuts in tablespoons.

Peanuts are a denser legume (154 g per cup) compared to walnuts (106 g). They work in similar baking contexts but the flavours are quite different, so weigh when substituting. See peanuts in tablespoons.

Crushed walnuts pack more tightly than halves (124 g vs 106 g per cup), so a cup measure gives a different weight depending on which form you use. Convert by grams for accuracy. See crushed walnuts in tablespoons.
