How Much Is 0.17 Cups of Cashews in Grams?
0.17 cups of cashews weighs 23.29 g. This is based on cashews having a density of 137g per cup. Because cups measure volume and grams measure weight, the result depends on the ingredient, and a different ingredient would give a different result for the same 0.17 cups.
Formula and Step-by-Step
- Start with 0.17 cups of cashews
- 1 cup of cashews = 137g

The same formula works for any amount. Multiply (or divide) by the density, then convert units as needed.
Measuring Tip
When a recipe says "1 cup nuts, chopped" vs "1 cup chopped nuts," the first means measure whole then chop. The second means chop first then measure. The weight difference can be significant.
