How to measure pine nuts
The chart entry is “Pine nuts, 1/2 cup = 2 1/2 oz = 71 g”, doubled here to 142 grams per cup. The chart lists pine nuts by the half cup. Sesame seeds carry the same 71 grams per half cup on the chart. Level the spoon or cup. A quarter cup is about 36 grams, two tablespoons about 18 grams and a tablespoon about 8.9 grams. 100 grams is about 0.7 cups.
Sources: 142 grams per US cup is the weight per cup in King Arthur Baking’s ingredient weight chart (open the chart), entry “Pine nuts, 1/2 cup = 2 1/2 oz = 71 g”, multiplied by 2 for one cup. A US cup is about 237 milliliters.
