How Much Is 2 Tablespoons of Almonds (Whole) in Grams?
2 tablespoons of almonds (whole) equals 17.88 g. Almonds (whole) has a density of 143g per cup (8.94g per tablespoon), which means it's relatively light compared to other common cooking ingredients. For comparison, 2 tablespoons of honey would be 42.5 g.
Formula and Step-by-Step
- Start with 2 tablespoons of almonds (whole)
- 1 tablespoon of almonds (whole) = 8.94g
- 2 × 8.94 = 17.88g
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 = 8.94g, so 2 = 17.88g.

What is a Gram?
Weighing ingredients in grams eliminates the variability of volume measurements. A cup of flour can weigh anywhere from 120g to 160g depending on how it was scooped, but 120g of flour is always 120g of flour.
