Pecan Halves: US Cups to Grams (g) & Ounces (oz) Conversion
Convert volumes of pecan halves measured in US cups to their approximate weight in metric grams (g) and imperial/US ounces (oz). Pecan halves are lighter by volume than chopped pecans.

Important Considerations for Pecan Halves:
Pecan halves are relatively light and can vary in how they pack into a measuring cup. A common average is around **100 grams per US cup** (approximately 3.5 ounces).
This is lighter than many other nuts like almonds or walnuts due to their shape and how they settle.
Chopped pecans will weigh more per cup because the smaller pieces pack more densely.
For recipes where the quantity of pecans is crucial for texture or balance, such as in pecan pie or pralines, measuring by weight with a kitchen scale offers greater accuracy.
