Quick answers
1/4 cup of cacao nibs is about 30 g, 1/3 cup is about 40 g, 1/2 cup is about 60 g, 2/3 cup is about 80 g, 3/4 cup is about 90 g and 1 cup is about 120 g (4.2 oz). One tablespoon is about 7.5 g and one teaspoon about 2.5 g.
Example: using cacao nibs in a recipe
If a recipe asks for 1 1/2 cups of cacao nibs, that is 1.5 x 120 g, or about 180 g. If a recipe gives 200 g and you only have cups, divide 200 by 120 to get about 1 2/3 cups.
How to measure cacao nibs
The weight depends on whether the cacao nibs are whole, chopped or ground, because smaller pieces pack more tightly. Use the form your recipe lists, and measure after chopping if the recipe says chopped.
Where these weights come from
Weights follow the King Arthur Baking ingredient weight chart (rounded). Brands and measuring methods vary, so treat results as close estimates.
