How to measure whole almonds accurately
For the most reliable baking results, weigh whole almonds on a kitchen scale rather than scooping by volume. One US cup of whole almonds weighs about 143 grams (5.04 oz), but the exact figure changes with how tightly it's packed and the brand. Scooping straight from the bag compacts whole almonds and can leave you 15 to 20% over, so spoon it into the cup and level it off for the closest match to the figures above. Use the tables for quick reference, or the converter for any custom amount in cups, grams, ounces or tablespoons.
Tip: To blanch almonds, drop them in boiling water for a minute, then slip off the skins; the difference shows in pale, smooth bakes.
