Metric cups and other cup sizes
The figures above use the US customary cup of 236.6 ml. A metric cup is 250 ml, so a metric cup of almonds weighs about 152 grams. UK recipes that say "cup" usually mean a 250 ml metric cup, which is why weighing in grams is more reliable than measuring by volume.
Measuring almonds accurately
Whole almonds leave large gaps in a measuring cup, while sliced or slivered almonds pack much more densely. Never assume volume measurements are interchangeable between different cuts of the same nut. Using a kitchen scale to weigh almonds in grams ensures you add the correct mass every time.
