How Much Is 238 Ounces of Cashews in Cups?
238 ounces of cashews equals 49.25 cups. That's 6,747.19g, and Cashews has a density of 137g per cup. Because ounces measure weight and cups measure volume, the result depends on the ingredient's density.
Formula and Step-by-Step
- Start with 238 ounces of cashews
- Convert ounces to grams: 238 × 28.35 = 6,747.19g
- 1 cup of cashews = 137g
- 6,747.19g ÷ 137g/cup = 49.25 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.

Understanding the Units
What is an Ounce?
An ounce (oz) is a US customary unit of weight equal to 28.3495 grams or 1/16 of a pound. In cooking, "ounces" refers to weight (avoirdupois ounces), not fluid ounces which measure volume.
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.
