Cashew nuts are used in baking, confectionery, Asian cooking, and dairy-free sauces and creams. One metric cup (250 ml) of whole raw cashews weighs around 145 grams or 5.11 ounces. Without scales, the amount in a cup varies depending on how the nuts are placed and whether they settle.

Whole cashews vary in size and shape, so a cup can hold more or fewer nuts than expected. Weighing in grams gives accurate results without the guesswork.
