A metric cup (250 ml, used in Australia, New Zealand, Canada and many Indian recipes) holds about 6% more than a US cup.
Whole and chopped nuts sit loosely, so a cup of chopped nuts weighs less than a cup of ground nuts. Dried fruit is loosely packed.
Weights are for a level US cup (236.6 ml) and level spoons, from King Arthur Baking's ingredient weight chart. Brands and packing vary by a few per cent; when a recipe gives grams, weigh rather than measure.
1 level US cup of chia seeds weighs about 148 g (5.2 oz). A 250 ml metric cup weighs about 156 g.
1 level tablespoon of chia seeds is about 9.3 g, and 1 teaspoon is about 3.1 g.
100 g of chia seeds is about 0.68 cups, or 10.8 tablespoons.
A cup measures volume, not weight. Chia Seeds is full of air between the particles, so a cup weighs much less than a cup of water (148 g vs 237 g).
