How to Measure Walnuts (Chopped) Accurately
Spoon the chopped nuts into the cup and level without shaking the cup — shaking settles them and packs in 10–15 g extra. Whether they are chopped fine or coarse changes the cup more than most bakers expect: the 115 g figure is a medium chop. Whole walnuts run about 100 g per cup.
Storing Walnuts (Chopped) & Common Substitutes
Storage
Walnuts are the fastest-rancid nut in the common pantry — their omega-3 content is the reason. Sealed in the refrigerator 6 months, freezer 12; at room temperature, plan on weeks. Taste one before baking: bitterness beyond normal tannin edge means the batch is spent.
Substitutions
Pecans substitute 1:1 with a sweeter, oilier profile. For texture without nuts, toasted sunflower seeds work in cookies and granola. In pesto and pastry the closest flavor match is a 50/50 blend of pecans and hazelnuts.
