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.
Also called: pepitas.
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 pumpkin seeds weighs about 160 g (5.6 oz). A 250 ml metric cup weighs about 169 g.
1 level tablespoon of pumpkin seeds is about 10 g, and 1 teaspoon is about 3.3 g.
100 g of pumpkin seeds is about 0.63 cups, or 10 tablespoons.
A cup measures volume, not weight. Pumpkin Seeds is full of air between the particles, so a cup weighs much less than a cup of water (160 g vs 237 g).
