Metric cups and other cup sizes
The figures above use the US customary cup of 236.6 ml. A metric cup is 250 ml, so a metric cup of walnuts weighs about 125 grams. UK recipes that say "cup" usually mean a 250 ml metric cup, which is why weighing in grams is more reliable than measuring by volume.
Measuring walnuts accurately
Chopped walnuts take up less space in a measuring cup than whole halves because the smaller pieces nest together. Specify whether your recipe requires nuts measured whole or chopped before filling the cup. Weighing walnuts in grams eliminates the ambiguity of how finely they were broken down.
