Formula and Step-by-Step
- Start with 3.17 ounces of almonds (sliced)
- Convert ounces to grams: 3.17 × 28.35 = 89.87g
- 1 cup of almonds (sliced) = 92g
- 89.87g ÷ 92g/cup = 0.98 cups × 16 = 15.63 tablespoons
The same formula works for any amount. Multiply (or divide) by the density, then convert units as needed.
Measuring Tip
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.
