How to measure cashews accurately
For the most reliable baking results, weigh cashews on a kitchen scale rather than scooping by volume. One US cup of cashews weighs about 137 grams (4.83 oz), but the exact figure changes with how tightly it's packed and the brand. Scooping straight from the bag compacts cashews and can leave you 15 to 20% over, so spoon it into the cup and level it off for the closest match to the figures above. Use the tables for quick reference, or the converter for any custom amount in cups, grams, ounces or tablespoons.
Tip: Soak raw cashews for a few hours (or boil 15 minutes) before blending into creams and sauces for the smoothest, lump-free result.
