Brand Variance Example
Baseline on this page: 1 cup pistachios (shelled) = 123g. Real-world range can shift by about 9% because cut size, grind consistency, and oil content alter packing behavior.
Example for 2 cups: baseline 246g, common range 224g-268g. If your bake is texture-sensitive, start with the lower bound and adjust after a test batch.
