How Much Is 11.98 Ounces of Cashews in Cups?
11.98 ounces of cashews equals 2.48 cups. 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 11.98 ounces of cashews
- Convert ounces to grams: 11.98 × 28.35 = 339.63g
- 1 cup of cashews = 137g
- 339.63g ÷ 137g/cup = 2.48 cups
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 cup. Always match the form specified in your recipe.
