Formula and Step-by-Step

(ounces × 28.35g/oz) ÷ 137g/cup = cups
  1. Start with 3.98 ounces of cashews
  2. Convert ounces to grams: 3.98 × 28.35 = 112.83g
  3. 1 cup of cashews = 137g
  4. 112.83g ÷ 137g/cup = 0.82 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?

Ounces are commonly used in US recipes for cheese, meat, chocolate, and other ingredients sold by weight. Many kitchen scales offer both gram and ounce readings.

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.

Frequently Asked Questions

About 0.82 cups, based on cashews having a density of 137g per cup. The exact amount depends on how the ingredient is measured and the specific product.
First convert ounces to grams (1 ounce = 28.3495g), then divide by 137 (grams per cup). For 3.98 ounces: 3.98 × 28.3495 = 112.83g, then 112.83 ÷ 137 = 0.82 cups.
For the most accurate results, weigh cashews on a kitchen scale. If measuring by volume, spoon the ingredient into the measuring cup and level it off with a straight edge rather than scooping directly.
Weight-per-cup values vary because of differences in how the ingredient is measured (spooned vs scooped), grind size, moisture content, and settling during storage. Our values use standardized measurement methods from established culinary references.
Reverse the conversion: 0.82 cups × 137g/cup = 112.83g, then 112.83g ÷ 28.3495 = 3.98 ounces. Or use the Cups to Ounces converter.
