Formula and Step-by-Step

(pounds × 453.59g/lb) ÷ 137g/cup = cups
  1. Start with 6.01 pounds of cashews
  2. Convert pounds to grams: 6.01 × 453.59 = 2,726.09g
  3. 1 cup of cashews = 137g
  4. 2,726.09g ÷ 137g/cup = 19.90 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.

Frequently Asked Questions

About 19.90 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 pounds to grams (1 pound = 453.592g), then divide by 137 (grams per cup). For 6.01 pounds: 6.01 × 453.592 = 2,726.09g, then 2,726.09 ÷ 137 = 19.90 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: 19.90 cups × 137g/cup = 2,726.09g, then 2,726.09g ÷ 453.592 = 6.01 pounds. Or use the Cups to Pounds converter.
