A tablespoon here is the 15 ml metric standard, about 16.67 to a metric cup, the same size as a UK tablespoon. A US tablespoon is smaller at 14.79 ml, so US cooks measuring with US spoons need slightly more. An Australian tablespoon is larger at 20 ml, so it holds about a third more.

A little over or under won't ruin the bake, though it can nudge the final taste or colour.

Almond meal is made from ground whole almonds (skins and all), giving it a slightly coarser, nuttier texture than blanched almond flour. One metric cup (250 ml) of almond meal weighs approximately 100 grams or 3.53 ounces, though this can vary depending on how finely it has been milled. It's a staple in gluten-free and low-carb baking, and works beautifully in frangipane, macarons, crumble toppings, and flourless cakes.

Almond meal is coarser and lighter than regular flour, so it can be tricky to measure consistently by volume. A loosely scooped cup can weigh quite a bit less than a packed one. Weighing in grams is the most reliable approach, and this page makes it easy to convert between grams, cups, ounces, tablespoons, and more.

Almond flour is made from blanched (skinless) almonds, so it's finer, lighter in colour, and more neutral in flavour than almond meal. You can swap them 1:1 in most recipes — using almond flour in place of almond meal will give a lighter crumb, a paler result, and a subtler almond taste. See our Almond Flour converter.

Almond meal is whole almonds ground to a coarse flour, lighter per cup (100 g vs 143 g for whole). Grind whole almonds to make your own meal, or weigh out almond meal when a recipe needs the ground form rather than the nut. See our Almonds converter.

Slivered almonds are thin cut strips that stay whole as a topping, while almond meal is milled to a coarse flour for the crumb. The two are not interchangeable, so convert by weight when a recipe calls for one form or the other. See our Slivered Almonds converter.
