One cup of chopped pecans weighs 108 grams — a little lighter than chopped walnuts, because pecan pieces are flatter and trap more air between them. As with all nuts, the chop defines the cup. Below are the full conversion tables for chopped pecans, a converter for any amount, and how to measure them for pies and toppings.

How to measure chopped pecans properly
Pecan pie maths, solved. A classic pecan pie calls for about 200 grams of pecans. Chopped, that is 1.85 cups by this table. If you are arranging halves on top instead, weigh the 200 grams and ignore the cup entirely — halves and pieces fill a measure differently.
Pecans are soft — chop with a knife, not a processor. A food processor turns oily pecans into a paste at the bottom and rubble at the top within seconds. A knife gives even pieces that match the chopped measure this table assumes — and leaves no nut butter behind in the bowl.
Freshness shows in flavour, not in the cup. Pecans' high oil content goes rancid faster than most nuts. Store them in the freezer, and measure from frozen happily — the 108-gram cup is the same; just let chopped pecans thaw before they go into a batter.
Frequently asked questions
How many grams are in a cup of chopped pecans?
108 grams, for pecans chopped to small pieces and spooned loosely into the cup. The figure is the King Arthur Baking standard used throughout GramChef, and it sits 9 grams below chopped walnuts' 117.
How many grams are in half a cup of chopped pecans?
54 grams — exactly half of the 108-gram cup. A tablespoon weighs 6.8 grams, useful for the small amounts scattered over salads, sweet potatoes and ice cream.
How many cups is 150 grams of chopped pecans?
About 1.39 cups — call it 1⅓ cups plus a tablespoon (150 ÷ 108 ≈ 1.39). Pecan bags commonly come in 150 and 200 gram sizes, and both convert more honestly by weight than by eye.
