How many cups is 146 grams of peanuts?

About 1 cup. A cup of shelled peanuts weighs approximately 146 grams, which is roughly 5.15 ounces.

How many cups is 100 grams of peanuts?

About 0.68 cups, using the 146 g/cup density figure.

Is 146 grams per cup an exact figure?

No, it is an approximation. Peanut size, moisture content, and how tightly the nuts settle in the cup all affect the actual weight. For baking where precision matters, weigh the peanuts on a kitchen scale instead of relying on a cup measure.

Does chopping the peanuts change the cup amount?

Yes. Chopped peanuts break into smaller, irregular pieces that pack more tightly than whole nuts, so a given gram weight of chopped peanuts fills less than a cup compared to whole peanuts. This tool uses the whole-peanut figure.

Does roasting change the conversion?

Roasting removes a small amount of moisture, so dry-roasted peanuts weigh close to but slightly less than raw peanuts per cup. The 146 g/cup figure is a standard reference suitable for most recipes.

Is this a US cup or a metric cup?

This tool uses the US cup (236.6 ml). A metric cup (250 ml) would give a slightly lower cup result for the same gram weight.

Values are measured by US cup (236.6 ml) using a density of 146 grams per cup of shelled raw or dry-roasted peanuts. This is an approximation: peanut size, moisture, and settling in the cup all shift the real weight, and chopped peanuts pack more tightly than whole ones.

Summary

Shelled peanuts are a common ingredient in baking, trail mix, and snack recipes. This tool converts any gram weight to cups and ounces using a density of 146 grams per cup of shelled raw or dry-roasted peanuts, the same figure used by the cups-to-grams version of this converter, and includes a reference table for common weights so you do not need to run the math yourself.
