Formula and Step-by-Step
- Start with 4 teaspoons of peanuts

- 4 × 3.04 = 12.17g
- Convert grams to ounces: 12.17 ÷ 28.3495 = 0.43 oz
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.
