How Much Is 2 Ounces of Cashews in Tablespoons?
2 ounces of cashews equals 6.62 tbsp. That's 56.70g, and Cashews has a density of 137g per cup. Because ounces measure weight and tablespoons measure volume, the result depends on the ingredient's density.
Formula and Step-by-Step
- Start with 2 ounces of cashews
- Convert ounces to grams: 2 × 28.35 = 56.70g
- 1 cup of cashews = 137g
- 56.70g ÷ 137g/cup = 0.41 cups × 16 = 6.62 tablespoons
The same formula works for any amount. Multiply (or divide) by the density, then convert units as needed.

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.
