Important Considerations for Shelled Pistachios:
Shelled pistachios are relatively dense. A common average is around **120 grams per US cup** (approximately 4.23 ounces).
This chart assumes shelled pistachios (kernels only). Pistachios in their shells will have a much lower kernel weight per cup.
Chopped pistachios may pack slightly differently, but this guide is a good starting point.
For recipes where the amount of nuts is critical, such as in baklava or specific confections, measuring by weight with a kitchen scale is recommended for best consistency.
