Formula and Step-by-Step

cups × 143g/cup = grams
  1. Start with 1.59 cups of almonds (whole)
  2. 1 cup of almonds (whole) = 143g
  3. 1.59 × 143 = 227.37g

The same formula works for any amount. Multiply (or divide) by the density, then convert units as needed.

Measuring Tip

Chopped, sliced, and whole almonds (whole) have very different weights per measuring cup. Always match the form specified in your recipe.

Understanding the Units

What is a Cup?

In US cooking, a cup measures volume, not weight. One standard US cup holds 236.588 ml of liquid. Because different ingredients have different densities, a cup of one ingredient can weigh very differently from a cup of another.

What is a Gram?

Grams are the preferred unit in professional kitchens and bakeries because they allow exact recipe scaling. To double a recipe, simply double the gram values. No need to worry about how tightly an ingredient is packed into a cup.

Frequently Asked Questions

About 227.37 g, based on almonds (whole) having a density of 143g per cup. The exact amount depends on how the ingredient is measured and the specific product.
Multiply the number of cups by 143 (grams per cup for almonds (whole)). For 1.59 cups: 1.59 × 143 = 227.37 g.
For the most accurate results, weigh almonds (whole) on a kitchen scale. If measuring by volume, spoon the ingredient into the measuring cup and level it off with a straight edge rather than scooping directly.
Weight-per-cup values vary because of differences in how the ingredient is measured (spooned vs scooped), grind size, moisture content, and settling during storage. Our values use standardized measurement methods from established culinary references.
Reverse the conversion: 227.37 g ÷ 143 = 1.59 cups. Or use the Grams to Cups converter.
