Measuring shelled peanuts by cup and by weight
A cup of shelled peanuts weighs about 142 g. In the shell, they are mostly empty space and a cup of unshelled peanuts yields only a half cup of nuts. Roasted and salted peanuts weigh about the same as raw ones; check the salt before adding more to a recipe. Peanuts are legumes, not tree nuts, but are a major allergen either way.
