Why pecans (chopped) needs its own conversion
Pecans (chopped) weighs about 114g per cup — quite light and airy compared to many kitchen staples. Derived from King Arthur diced 1/2 cup = 57 g. Whole pecans ~105 g/cup. A cup is a unit of volume, so ingredients this different in density can't share one generic conversion factor — using a single "1 cup = X g" rule for everything will be wrong for at least some of what you cook.
Common measurement mistakes
- Using a generic cup-to-gram factor for every ingredient — pecans (chopped) does not weigh the same per cup as most other ingredients.
- Measurement note: Derived from King Arthur diced 1/2 cup = 57 g. Whole pecans ~105 g/cup.
- Confusing weight ounces with fluid ounces when a recipe lists "oz" — they are not interchangeable.
