How Much Is 2 Tablespoons of Almonds (Sliced) in Grams?
2 tablespoons of almonds (sliced) weighs 11.50 g. This is based on almonds (sliced) having a density of 92g per cup. Because tablespoons measure volume and grams measure weight, the result depends on the ingredient, and a different ingredient would give a different result for the same 2 tablespoons.
Formula and Step-by-Step
- Start with 2 tablespoons of almonds (sliced)
- 1 tablespoon of almonds (sliced) = 5.75g
- 2 × 5.75 = 11.5g
The same formula works for any amount. Multiply (or divide) by the density, then convert units as needed.
Mental Math Shortcut
Quick check: 2 tablespoons is just double the single-tablespoon weight. 1 tablespoon = 5.75g, so 2 = 11.5g.
Measuring Tip
For the most consistent results, weigh almonds (sliced) on a kitchen scale. Volume measurements of nuts vary depending on size, shape, and how tightly they pack.

Understanding the Units
What is a Tablespoon?
A tablespoon (tbsp) is a US customary unit of volume equal to 14.787 milliliters, 3 teaspoons, or 1/16 of a cup. It is commonly used for measuring smaller amounts of ingredients.
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.
