How to measure hazelnuts
King Arthur Baking lists Hazelnuts (whole) at 5 ounces, 142 grams, per cup. Ground into hazelnut flour, the same nuts drop to 89 grams per cup on the chart, 53 grams less, so a recipe that gives hazelnuts in grams and asks you to grind them is best weighed before grinding. Half a cup of whole hazelnuts is 71 grams, 1/4 cup 36 grams and 2 cups 284 grams. 200 grams of hazelnuts is 1.41 cups, just under 1 1/2 cups. The chart lists hazelnut spread and praline paste separately; those are far heavier per cup and do not belong on this page.
Sources: 142 grams per US cup is the weight per cup in King Arthur Baking’s ingredient weight chart (open the chart), entry “Hazelnuts (whole), 1 cup = 5 oz = 142 g”. A US cup is about 237 milliliters.
