How many grams are in a cup of pistachios?

A cup of shelled pistachios weighs about 123 grams, which is roughly 4.34 ounces.

How many grams are in a tablespoon of pistachios?

Since there are 16 tablespoons in a cup, one tablespoon of shelled pistachios weighs about 7.69 grams using the same 123 g/cup density.

Does this figure include the shells?

No. The 123 g/cup density is for shelled, edible pistachio kernels only. In-shell pistachios take up more volume per cup and weigh less per cup of edible nut once you subtract the shells.

Does roasting or salting change the weight?

Roasting removes a small amount of moisture, and salting adds a small amount of weight, so both shift the figure slightly. The 123 g/cup value is a standard average 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 higher gram result.
