How to measure minced shallots

One medium shallot yields about 3 tablespoons minced; a cup takes 5–6 medium shallots.

Minced shallots conversions: FAQ

Why doesn't a cup of minced shallots weigh the same as a cup of water?

A cup measures volume, not weight. Minced shallots is less dense than water (160 g versus 237 g per cup), so the same volume has a different weight. Weighing in grams is the most accurate way to measure it.
