things people ask

• How many grams in a tablespoon of pistachios?
  About 7.5 g for chopped shelled pistachios, level. Whole kernels run a little lighter per tablespoon because they don't pack tightly — closer to 6-7 g. For a yogurt bowl topped with two tablespoons of chopped pistachios, you're adding around 15 g of nuts and a noticeable hit of green color and salt if they're roasted.
• How much chopped pistachio do I need to top a salad for four?
  Two to three tablespoons (15-22 g) is enough to garnish a four-person burrata, beet, or stone-fruit salad. The nuts are rich and assertive, so a thin scatter goes further than peanuts or almonds would. Toast them briefly in a dry pan first if they're raw — it sharpens the flavor without adding oil.
• Is a tablespoon of pistachio paste the same weight?
  No. Pistachio paste — the dense, oily Sicilian-style purée used in gelato and pastry creams — runs heavier, around 15-18 g per tablespoon, because there's no air between particles. If a gelato base calls for two tablespoons of paste and you substitute chopped nuts, you'll lose the smooth texture and emulsified fat that define the flavor.
