Questions

How much does a cup of pistachios weigh?

A US cup (236.6 ml) of shelled pistachios weighs 123 g. A metric cup (250 ml) holds about 130 g.

Is the weight with or without shells?

Without. The USDA weighed shelled kernels. A cup of pistachios in the shell holds far fewer nuts, so it cannot be converted with these figures.

How many grams is 1/4 cup of pistachios?

A quarter US cup (about 59 ml) of shelled pistachios weighs about 31 g, and half a cup (about 118 ml) about 61 g.

How much does one pistachio weigh?

About 0.7 g for a shelled kernel, so a US cup holds roughly 175 of them.

How many grams in a tablespoon of pistachios?

A US tablespoon (14.8 ml) holds about 7.7 g of shelled pistachios and a teaspoon about 2.6 g.

A US cup of shelled pistachios weighs 123 g according to the USDA, a US tablespoon about 7.7 g, and a single kernel about 0.7 g.

These figures are for kernels without shells. Pistachios sold in the shell take up much more room and part of their weight is shell, so shell them before measuring, or weigh the kernels.
