Measuring 16 oz (1 lb) of Whole Raw Almonds in the Kitchen
Because 1 US Customary Cup (236.6 mL) of whole raw almonds weighs 142g when measured dip and sweep, 16 Ounces (453.6g) translates to 3.19 US cups (3 cups + 3 tbsp + ¼ tsp).
Without a kitchen scale, measure 3 cups + 3 tbsp + ¼ tsp (51.11 tablespoons total) using dip and sweep technique. 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.
