Convert Cups to Grams: Cashews (whole)
Convert cups of cashews (whole) to grams with this complete reference table. 1 cup of cashews (whole) = 130g (USDA FoodData Central, spooned-and-leveled method). Use the table below for fractions from 1/8 cup up to 4 cups. For precision baking, weight measurements in grams are always more reliable than volume measurements in cups, because cashews (whole) density can vary by measuring technique.

| Cups | Grams |
|---|---|
| 1/8 cup | 16.3g |
| 1/4 cup | 32.5g |
| 1/3 cup | 43.3g |
| 1/2 cup | 65g |
| 2/3 cup | 86.7g |
| 3/4 cup | 97.5g |
| 1 cup | 130g |
| 1 1/4 cups | 162.5g |
| 1 1/2 cups | 195g |
| 2 cups | 260g |
| 3 cups | 390g |
| 4 cups | 520g |
Based on USDA FoodData Central data (1 US cup = 240ml = 16 tablespoons = 48 teaspoons). Note: Whole cashews: 1 cup = 130g. Chopped cashews pack slightly denser (~140g/cup). Kidney-shaped nuts from Brazil and Vietnam. High in monounsaturated fats and magnesium. Soak overnight for cashew cream (dairy-free alternative). USDA FDC 12087.
About Cashews (whole) Density
The density of cashews (whole) determines how much it weighs per unit of volume. At 0.542g/ml, 1 US cup (240ml) of cashews (whole) weighs 130g under USDA standard conditions.
Volume measurements can vary by ±10–20% depending on technique (sifted vs. spooned vs. scooped). For consistent baking results, use a kitchen scale with gram measurements whenever possible. The USDA standard (spooned-and-leveled) is the reference point for all values on this page.
Frequently Asked Questions
How many grams is 1 cup of cashews (whole)?
1 cup of cashews (whole) weighs 130 grams (USDA FoodData Central, spooned-and-leveled method, 1 US cup = 240ml).
How many grams is 1/2 cup of cashews (whole)?
1/2 cup of cashews (whole) weighs 65 grams.
