How Much Is 14.4 Ounces of Cashews in Cups?
14.4 ounces of cashews equals 2.98 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 14.4 ounces of cashews
- Convert ounces to grams: 14.4 × 28.35 = 408.23g
- 1 cup of cashews = 137g
- 408.23g ÷ 137g/cup = 2.98 cups
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 an Ounce?
Weight ounces and fluid ounces are different measurements. A fluid ounce measures volume (29.574 ml), while an ounce measures weight (28.35g). They only align for water, where 1 fl oz weighs approximately 1 oz.
What is a Cup?
In US cooking, a cup measures volume, not weight. One standard US cup holds 236.588 ml of liquid. Because different ingredients have different densities, a cup of one ingredient can weigh very differently from a cup of another.
