  • 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.

  • One metric tablespoon of almonds weighs about 8.6 grams. A US tablespoon (14.79 ml) holds about 8.5 grams and an Australian tablespoon (20 ml) about 11.4 grams.
  • A little over or under won't ruin the bake, though it can nudge the final taste or colour.

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.

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 what 1 tablespoon of almond flour is in grams.

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 what 1 tablespoon of almond butter is in grams.
