Formula and Step-by-Step
- Start with 12.17 grams of peanuts
- 1 cup of peanuts = 146g
- 12.17g ÷ 146g/cup = 0.08 cups × 48 = 4.00 teaspoons
The same formula works for any amount. Multiply (or divide) by the density, then convert units as needed.

For the most consistent results, weigh peanuts on a kitchen scale. Volume measurements of nuts vary depending on size, shape, and how tightly they pack.
