Measuring 450g of Chopped Pecans in the Kitchen
Because 1 US Customary Cup (236.6 mL) of chopped pecans weighs 114g when measured dip and sweep, 450 Grams (450g) translates to 3.95 US cups (3 ¾ cups + 3 tbsp + ½ tsp).
Without a kitchen scale, measure 3 ¾ cups + 3 tbsp + ½ tsp (63.16 tablespoons total) using dip and sweep technique. Scoop chopped pecan pieces and sweep level with a spatula. Chopping allows the nut fragments to nestle efficiently, adding 15 grams per cup compared to whole halves.
