Cashew Milk
Cashew milk weighs 240g per cup. Creamier mouthfeel than almond milk because cashews have more fat, but similar protein content (just 1g per cup). Excellent in creamy coffee drinks and cold soups; the lower protein means it won't thicken sauces or set custards. Easy to make at home: blend ¼ cup raw cashews with 1 cup water until smooth — no straining needed since cashews are softer than almonds. Substitutes 1:1 for almond milk.

03 // WHY IT MATTERS
If your cookies spread, your bread is gummy, or your cake sinks — flour weight is usually why.
A scooped cup of flour can weigh anywhere from 125g to 180g. That's a 44% range — enough to wreck a cake.
Modern recipes use the spoon-and-level method: fluff the flour, spoon it into a dry measuring cup without packing, then sweep flat with a knife.
The scoop method — pushing the cup directly into the bag — packs in 40-50% more flour.
