Almonds are whole tree nuts used raw, roasted, or chopped in baking, salads, and snacking. One metric cup (250 ml) of whole almonds weighs around 143 grams or 5.04 ounces. When a recipe calls for almonds in cups but you are weighing from a bag, converting by weight keeps the nut count right for cakes, granola, and toppings.

Whole almonds pack loosely, so a scooped cup can swing by several grams. Weighing in grams gives a steadier amount than a cup measure across bakes and trail mixes.

Related Almonds Ingredients

Slivered almonds are whole almonds cut into thin strips, so they pack lighter per cup (108 g vs 143 g). Use slivered for even toasting and a neat finish on cakes and salads, whole almonds where you want bite and crunch. Convert by weight, not cups. See slivered almonds in tablespoons.

Almond meal is whole almonds ground to a coarse flour, so it weighs much less per cup (100 g vs 143 g). You cannot swap whole almonds straight into a batter; grind them first, or weigh out almond meal when a recipe needs the ground form. See almond meal in tablespoons.

Almond flour is blanched almonds milled fine and pale, weighing far less per cup (96 g vs 143 g). Whole almonds are not a direct swap; blitz them to a flour, or weigh almond flour when a recipe calls for the ground, skinless form. See almond flour in tablespoons.

Almond butter is whole almonds ground into a smooth, oily paste, much denser per cup (256 g vs 143 g). For a spread or sauce, blend whole almonds with a little oil, or weigh out almond butter rather than swapping by volume. See almond butter in tablespoons.
