75 grams of walnuts = 0.64 cups (⅝ cup / 10.3 tbsp / 30.8 tsp)
Walnuts has a density of approximately 117g per cup. Chopped. Finely ground walnuts pack denser, closer to 80g per cup. Source: USDA FoodData Central. This is the figure used everywhere on this page, including the tablespoon and teaspoon values, so the numbers stay consistent whether you're reading the summary line, the table, or the FAQ answers below.
| Grams | Cups | Fraction | Tablespoons | Teaspoons |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 65g | 0.56 | ½ | 8.9 | 26.7 |
| 70g | 0.60 | ⅝ | 9.6 | 28.7 |
| 75g | 0.64 | ⅝ | 10.3 | 30.8 |
| 80g | 0.68 | ⅔ | 10.9 | 32.8 |
| 85g | 0.73 | ¾ | 11.6 | 34.9 |
The Math for 75g of Walnuts
75g divided by 117g (the weight of one cup of walnuts) equals 0.64 cups. Multiplying that by 16 gives 10.3 tablespoons, and by 48 gives 30.8 teaspoons, since one cup always equals 16 tablespoons or 48 teaspoons regardless of the ingredient.
Walnuts is lighter than water, which weighs about 236g per cup. That's why 75g of walnuts takes up more volume (152ml) than the same weight of water would (75ml). For a side-by-side look at how other ingredients compare, see the 75 grams to cups page.
Metric and Imperial Cup Sizes
The 0.64 cup figure above uses the US Customary cup (236.588ml). Recipes written outside the US sometimes use a metric cup (250ml) or an imperial (uk) cup (284.131ml) instead. At 75g, that's ⅝ metric cups or ½ imperial cups of walnuts, close to the US figure but not identical. The cup standard switch in the converter above recalculates this instantly for any gram amount.
Making More or Less Than 75g
Doubling a recipe that calls for 75g of walnuts means weighing 150g, or measuring 1.28 cups if you're working by volume instead of weight. Halving it means 37.5g, or 0.32 cups. Weight scales exactly with simple multiplication; cup measurements compound any scooping error each time they're doubled or halved, so weighing is more reliable the more a recipe is scaled.
How Walnuts Compares to Similar Ingredients
Within nuts & seeds, density still varies by ingredient. At 75g, almonds (143g per cup) measures ½ cup, while flaxseeds (150g per cup) measures ½ cup, compared to ⅝ cup for walnuts. Swapping ingredients in a recipe by cup measurement alone, without adjusting for this difference, changes the actual weight used.
Using Walnuts in Recipes
- Recipes typically call for this ingredient in amounts ranging from a tablespoon to a full cup, depending on the dish.
- Check your specific recipe for the exact gram amount, then use the converter above to find the matching cup measurement.
Getting an Accurate Spoon Measurement
Nuts & Seeds
Spoon in loosely and level off. Avoid shaking the cup, which settles the seeds and packs in more than the recipe expects.
For exact results
Whole nuts and seeds measure differently than chopped or ground versions of the same ingredient, since chopping reduces air pockets between pieces and increases the weight per cup.
For every gram amount at once, the walnuts conversion chart lists walnuts across the full range from 1g to 1000g in one table.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is 75 grams of walnuts in cups?+
75 grams of walnuts is 0.64 cups, or 10.3 tablespoons.
Should I use a spoon or a cup for 75g of walnuts?+
At 75g, a tablespoon or teaspoon measurement is usually more practical than a fractional cup. Use 10.3 tablespoons or 30.8 teaspoons.
Is 75 grams of walnuts the same as 75 milliliters?+
Only if it weighed the same as water. 75g of water is about 75ml, while 75g of walnuts is 152ml, because the two have different densities.
Does the answer change for a metric or imperial cup?+
Slightly. 75g of walnuts is ⅝ metric cups or ½ imperial cups, close to the US figure but not identical, since each standard defines the cup at a different volume.
