Cashews (whole): Grams to Cups
1 cup of cashews (whole) = 137 grams
One US cup of cashews (whole) weighs 137 grams. One 250 ml metric cup — the one used in the UK, Australia, New Zealand and Canada — holds 145 grams. To convert any weight, divide the grams by the figure for your cup.
Whole cashews weigh about 137 g per cup (USDA FoodData Central, dry-roasted); King Arthur Baking lists 113 g. The large curved nuts leave gaps, so how the cup is filled makes a real difference — weigh them if you can.

How to measure cashews (whole) accurately
The 137 g figure assumes the spooned-and-levelled method: spoon the cashews (whole) into a dry measuring cup and sweep the top flat with a straight edge. Scooping the cup through the bag compacts it and gives a heavier cup.
- 1 US cup of cashews (whole) = 137 g
- 1 metric cup (250 ml) of cashews (whole) = 145 g
- ¾ cup = 103 g
- ½ cup = 69 g
- ⅓ cup = 46 g
- ¼ cup = 34 g
- 1 tablespoon = 8.6 g
