things people ask

• How many grams in a tablespoon of pecans?
  About 7 g for chopped pecans, level. Whole halves don't really sit flat in a tablespoon — you'll get 5-6 g of halves piled in, depending on size. For sweet potato casseroles, banana bread topping, or a tablespoon stirred into oatmeal, the chopped figure is the one to use.
• Is a tablespoon of pecans enough for a single-serving pancake batter?
  Yes — one tablespoon of chopped pecans (7 g) folded into batter for two or three pancakes gives you a nut in nearly every bite without making the pancakes heavy. Toast them first if you have eight minutes; the flavor lift is significant compared to raw pecans straight from the bag.
• How much is a tablespoon of pecans for a granola portion?
  One tablespoon (7 g) is a reasonable single-serving granola add-in — it brings about 50 calories and useful fat without dominating the bowl. For a full batch of granola (roughly 4 cups), recipes more often call by the cup, but for stirring nuts into a single bowl of yogurt, the tablespoon is the working unit.
