Close, but not exactly. The pounds to cups conversion for walnuts may vary slightly between brands depending on moisture content and how the ingredient is measured.
The same weight of different ingredients fills different volumes because each ingredient has a different density. A pound of walnuts fills a different number of cups than a pound of a lighter or heavier ingredient. That is why this converter needs to know which ingredient you are measuring.
