things people ask

• How many cashews are in a tablespoon?
  About four to five whole cashews fit in a level tablespoon, totaling around 7 g. Smaller W-320 grade nuts will give you closer to six per spoon; jumbo W-180s drop to three. If a recipe says 'a tablespoon of cashews per serving' for a curry garnish, counting nuts is faster than weighing once you've eyeballed it once.
• Is a tablespoon of cashew pieces the same weight as whole?
  No. Cashew pieces and splits pack tighter into the spoon, so a tablespoon of pieces runs 9-10 g versus 7 g for whole nuts. Trail mix recipes and granola formulas often call for pieces specifically because they distribute more evenly through the mix and don't roll off the top of a yogurt bowl.
• How much cashew butter equals a tablespoon of whole cashews?
  Roughly the same by weight. A tablespoon of cashew butter is about 15-16 g, so half a tablespoon of butter (~7-8 g) matches the cashew content of one tablespoon of whole nuts. Useful when you're swapping butter into a smoothie or dressing recipe that originally called for the nuts themselves.
