Can anyone tell me about how many cups one pound of nuts equals. I know it might vary because of the size of nuts, but I guess i want to know about almonds, cashews, etc. I guess the bigger nuts. Before I ordered them I wanted to make sure i have enough for the recipes, milk, etc. Thanks! Rachel

awwww dont get all nutty on us....hehe....pun intended. :)

do you think the liquid measuring cup in this instance would be close enough?? with those, 1cup=8oz. which would mean you should get 2cups per pound. wait, that sounds awfully low. i will google it.......brb

Chopped nuts 1/3 to 1/2 cup = 50 grams/1 3/4 oz.
Almonds (shelled) 8 oz. = 1 1/2-2 cups
Almonds (blanched) 8 oz. = 1 3/4-2 cups ground
Pecans (shelled) 8 oz. = 1 1/4 cups / 1 cup chopped
Walnuts (in the shell) 1 pound = 2 1/2 cups, shelled
Walnuts (shelled) 8 oz. = 2 cups, chopped
Nut butter 1 cup = 250 grams/8 3/4 oz.
Sesame or sunflower seeds 3/4 cup = 100 grams/3 1/2 oz.
