Raw Newbie
I have been reading about people substituting sunflower seeds for cashew nuts. This idea is very appealing to me since sunflower seeds cost a lot less than cashews and many cashew nuts are not truly raw.
My question is when making this substitution, how do you adjust the recipe? If a recipe calls for one cup of cashew nuts do you use one cup of sunflower seeds or would you lessen the amount used since sunflower seeds are smaller. I would appreciate any advice on this topic.

I would reduce the amount because sunflower seeds would be more condensed in a cup, but I'm not sure by how much.
I wonder if it can be done by weight. i.e. weigh a cup of cashews and then match that weight in sunflower seeds.
