| Half Batch (0.5×) | 25g (0.88 oz) | 2 tbsp + 2 ½ tsp | 41.7 mL |
| Standard (1×) | 50g (1.76 oz) | ⅓ cup + 1 tsp | 83.3 mL |
| 1.5× Batch | 75g (2.65 oz) | ½ cup + 1 ¼ tsp | 125 mL |
| Double Batch (2×) | 100g (3.53 oz) | ⅔ cup + 1 ¾ tsp | 166.6 mL |
| Triple Batch (3×) | 150g (5.29 oz) | 1 cup + 2 ¾ tsp | 249.9 mL |
Measuring 50g 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, 50 Grams (50g) translates to 0.35 US cups (⅓ cup + 1 tsp).
Without a kitchen scale, measure ⅓ cup + 1 tsp (5.63 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.
