How Much Is 64 Ounces of Cashews in Cups?
64 ounces of cashews equals 13.24 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 64 ounces of cashews
- Convert ounces to grams: 64 × 28.35 = 1,814.37g
- 1 cup of cashews = 137g
- 1,814.37g ÷ 137g/cup = 13.24 cups
The same formula works for any amount. Multiply (or divide) by the density, then convert units as needed.
Measuring Tip
When a recipe says "1 cup nuts, chopped" vs "1 cup chopped nuts," the first means measure whole then chop. The second means chop first then measure. The weight difference can be significant.
