Formula and Step-by-Step
- Start with 120 grams of cashews
- 1 cup of cashews = 137g
- 120g ÷ 137g/cup = 0.88 cups × 48 = 42.04 teaspoons
The same formula works for any amount. Multiply (or divide) by the density, then convert units as needed.
Measuring Tip
Chopped, sliced, and whole cashews have very different weights per measuring spoon. Always match the form specified in your recipe.

Understanding the Units
What is a Gram?
Weighing ingredients in grams eliminates the variability of volume measurements. A cup of flour can weigh anywhere from 120g to 160g depending on how it was scooped, but 120g of flour is always 120g of flour.
What is a Teaspoon?
One teaspoon holds about 5 milliliters. There are 3 teaspoons in a tablespoon and 48 teaspoons in a cup. Teaspoon accuracy matters most with leaveners like baking powder and baking soda, where small differences affect rise and texture.
