Grams to Cups: Hazelnuts
If your recipe is written in cups but your scale reads grams — or the other way round — this page solves the conversion for hazelnuts. One cup of hazelnuts weighs about 135 grams, which works out to a density of 0.57 g/ml. From there, half a cup is roughly 68 g, a quarter cup about 34 g, and one tablespoon about 8 g.
Converting between weight and volume depends on density, and density is specific to each ingredient: a cup of hazelnuts does not weigh the same as a cup of flour or sugar. That is why this tool uses the measured density of hazelnuts, taken from the USDA FoodData Central database, rather than a one-size-fits-all figure.

How to measure hazelnuts accurately
For hazelnuts, spoon it into the cup and level it off; do not shake or tap the cup, which settles the contents and changes the weight. Weighing in grams is still the most reliable method when the amount matters.
