Formula and Step-by-Step
- Start with 138 grams of almonds (whole)
- 1 cup of almonds (whole) = 143g
- 138g ÷ 143g/cup = 0.97 cups × 16 = 15.44 tablespoons

Understanding the Units
What is a Gram?
A gram (g) is a metric unit of mass equal to 1/1000 of a kilogram. It is the standard weight measurement for precise baking worldwide. Professional bakers prefer grams because they are more accurate than volume measurements.
