  • 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.

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.
