Re: measurements for nuts?

[Guest guest]

I was checking carbs on all the different nuts. Netzer's guide and others

give in wt. (oz.) Can anyone tell me approx. how much of a " cup " this would

be so I don't have to go out and buy a food scale? Do all of you have a food

scale? Thanks!

This is an idea. I've never seen or heard of one but you think Santa would

know what it is? Hope his elves know where to " buy " one!

Nuts vary in density, so 1 ounce of one kind of nut will be a different

volume than 1 ounce of another kind of nut. Sorry to be so unhelpful.

However, a digital food scale would be a wonderful investment. I think I

got mine for a bout $30 from QVC several years ago. It will weigh in either

grams or ounces, and will weigh as small as 1/4 ounce and as much as 3

pounds. I love mine and use it often.

The one I have was made by T-fal, and I got it at QVC five years ago. I

don't think they carry them anymore. Mine didn't come with a bowl. If you

get one from QVC, they have a 30 day unconditional return policy, so you

could try it out for 30 days and then return it if you find it doesn't meet

your needs.

I purchased a food scale (not digital) for $5 at Meijer. It works

ok, I mostly use it to dole my macadamia nuts out into 1 oz. portions.

Thanks,
