How Much Is 138 Grams of Cashews in Teaspoons?
138 grams of cashews equals 48.35 tsp. Cashews has a density of 137g per cup. A lighter ingredient like cocoa powder (86g/cup) would fill even more volume at the same weight, which is why ingredient-specific conversions matter.
Formula and Step-by-Step
- Start with 138 grams of cashews
- 1 cup of cashews = 137g
- 138g ÷ 137g/cup = 1.01 cup × 48 = 48.35 teaspoons
The same formula works for any amount. Multiply (or divide) by the density, then convert units as needed.
Measuring Tip
For the most consistent results, weigh cashews on a kitchen scale. Volume measurements of nuts vary depending on size, shape, and how tightly they pack.

Understanding the Units
What is a Gram?
A gram (g) is a metric unit of mass equal to 1/1000 of a kilogram. It is the standard weight measurement for precise baking worldwide. Professional bakers prefer grams because they are more accurate than volume measurements.
What is a Teaspoon?
In baking, teaspoon measurements are critical for ingredients where precision changes the outcome. Too much baking soda (1 tsp = 6g) creates a metallic taste, while too little means flat results.
