Trade/USDA approximate kernel weight; pine nuts vary, so 0.20 g is a rounded typical value.
Instead of Pine nut
Cashew nutUse the same weight; soak in hot water for 15 minutes for a smooth paste. It is softer and sweeter.
AlmondUse the same weight; blanch and peel for a whiter paste. It is firmer, so grind a little longer.
PistachioUse the same weight; blanch and peel for colour. It gives a greener paste and a slightly stronger nut flavour.
