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.
Ground flaxseed (flax meal) is lighter, about 100 g per cup.
Also called: alsi, linseed.
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 flaxseed weighs about 140 g (4.9 oz). A 250 ml metric cup weighs about 148 g.
1 level tablespoon of flaxseed is about 8.8 g, and 1 teaspoon is about 2.9 g.
100 g of flaxseed is about 0.71 cups, or 11.4 tablespoons.
A cup measures volume, not weight. Flaxseed is full of air between the particles, so a cup weighs much less than a cup of water (140 g vs 237 g).
