How to Measure Whole Raw Almonds Accurately
Scoop almonds directly into a dry measuring cup and level flush with the top. Because whole almonds leave irregular air voids between nuts, shaking the cup settles them into a tighter pack, shifting weight from 142g up to 155g.

Whole Raw Almonds Measuring FAQs
How many whole almonds are contained in one cup (142 grams)? ▾
One standard US cup contains approximately 90 to 100 whole shelled raw almonds, depending on the nut grading size.
Does roasting change the cup weight of whole almonds? ▾
Roasting evaporates 2% to 4% internal moisture, but individual nut shrinkage leaves the packing density virtually unchanged at 140–145g per cup.
