Density Dynamics in Nuts & Seeds
Nut and seed weight varies dramatically with prep cut (whole vs sliced vs ground) and oil concentration. Whole almonds leave large geometric gaps between nuts, weighing 140 grams per cup. Slicing almonds creates paper-thin flakes that lay flat with reduced air gaps, dropping cup weight to 100 grams. Grinding almonds into fine nut meal eliminates void space, increasing density to 112-120g. Ground chia seeds or flaxseeds settle tightly at 150g per cup. Smooth nut putters (peanut, almond, tahini) have air completely pressed out during milling, resulting in a dense 258 grams per cup.
Nuts & Seeds Substitution Rules: Weight vs Volume
When substituting nuts in recipes, specify the cut. Swapping 1 cup of whole walnuts (120g) for 1 cup of finely chopped walnuts (140g) adds 20 extra grams of nut fat. Use weight measurement in grams to maintain identical nut-to-flour ratios in tarts and crusts.
