Measuring ⅓ US Cup of Whole Raw Almonds in the Kitchen
Measured dip and sweep at a verified bulk density of 142g per US cup, ⅓ US cup of whole raw almonds weighs 47.3 grams (1.67 ounces).
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.
