Shelled pumpkin seeds (pepitas) are relatively flat and can vary in how they pack. A common average weight is around **130-140 grams per US cup** (approximately 4.5-4.9 ounces).
This chart assumes shelled pumpkin seeds. Pumpkin seeds still in their white outer hull will be much lighter by volume and have a lower kernel yield.
For recipes where the quantity of seeds is important for texture or nutritional value, measuring by weight with a kitchen scale offers better consistency.
