Measuring 50g of Chopped Pecans in the Kitchen
Because 1 US Customary Cup (236.6 mL) of chopped pecans weighs 114g when measured dip and sweep, 50 Grams (50g) translates to 0.44 US cups (⅓ cup + 1 tbsp + 2 tsp).
Without a kitchen scale, measure ⅓ cup + 1 tbsp + 2 tsp (7.02 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.
