How many grams are in a cup of cashews?

A cup of whole raw cashews weighs 137 grams, which is about 4.83 ounces. This is the USDA reference figure for whole raw cashews.

How many grams are in a tablespoon of cashews?

Since there are 16 tablespoons in a cup, one tablespoon of whole raw cashews weighs about 8.56 grams using the same 137 g/cup density.

Does this figure apply to chopped or broken cashews?

Not exactly. Chopped or broken cashew pieces pack more tightly into a cup than whole nuts, so they weigh more per cup. This tool includes a separate approximate figure for chopped cashews if you switch the mode.

Does roasting change the weight?

Roasting removes a small amount of moisture, so roasted cashews weigh slightly less per cup than raw ones. The 137 g/cup figure is a standard reference suitable for most recipes.

Is this a US cup or a metric cup?

This tool uses the US cup (236.6 ml). A metric cup (250 ml) would give a slightly higher gram result.
