Why does cocoa nibs weigh what it weighs?
Chocolate ingredients vary widely in density. Cocoa powder is fluffy and traps air; chocolate chips are dense and uniform; cocoa nibs sit in between. Recipes built around weight (especially European and pastry-school formulas) translate poorly when you scoop chips by the cup. Weighing is the only way to nail brownie and ganache ratios.
For cocoa nibs specifically, 1 cup weighs 132g. That is the figure to plug into recipes calling for cup measurements when you want gram precision. ChefVault stores this density (and 118 others) so you never have to look it up twice.
Recipes that originated outside the United States almost always specify weight in grams. Translating these to US cup measurements introduces error in every step. The ChefVault app handles the math automatically — paste a recipe, hit convert, get a clean weight-based version.
