Brazil Nuts
Whole Brazil nuts weigh 133g per cup. Chopped, expect about 145g per cup since fewer air gaps. One of the richest natural sources of selenium — just two nuts provides a full daily dose, so use them sparingly in granolas and trail mixes. High fat content means they go rancid quickly; refrigerate or freeze if you bought in bulk. Pair well with dark chocolate and dried tropical fruits.

03 // WHY IT MATTERS
If your cookies spread, your bread is gummy, or your cake sinks — flour weight is usually why.
A scooped cup of flour can weigh anywhere from 125g to 180g. That's a 44% range — enough to wreck a cake.
Modern recipes use the spoon-and-level method: fluff the flour, spoon it into a dry measuring cup without packing, then sweep flat with a knife.
The scoop method — pushing the cup directly into the bag — packs in 40-50% more flour.
