Formula and Step-by-Step
- Start with 8.47 ounces of almonds (sliced)
- Convert ounces to grams: 8.47 × 28.35 = 240.12g
- 1 cup of almonds (sliced) = 92g

When a recipe says "1 cup nuts, chopped" vs "1 cup chopped nuts," the first means measure whole then chop. The second means chop first then measure. The weight difference can be significant.

What is a Cup?
There are three cup standards used worldwide. The US cup (236.588 ml) is used in American recipes. The metric cup (250 ml) is standard in Australia, New Zealand, and some parts of Asia. The imperial cup (284.131 ml) appears in older British and Canadian recipes. A metric cup holds about 5.7% more than a US cup, while an imperial cup holds about 20% more. Using the wrong standard can noticeably affect a recipe.
