| Batch Scale | Weight (g / oz) | US Cups & Spoons | Metric (mL) |
|---|---|---|---|
| Half Batch (0.5×) | 60g (2.12 oz) | ⅓ cup + 1 tbsp + 1 ¼ tsp | 100 mL |
| Standard (1×) | 120g (4.23 oz) | ¾ cup + 1 tbsp + 1 ½ tsp | 199.9 mL |
| 1.5× Batch | 180g (6.35 oz) | 1 ¼ cups + ¾ tsp | 299.9 mL |
| Double Batch (2×) | 240g (8.47 oz) | 1 ⅔ cups + 1 ¼ tsp | 399.9 mL |
| Triple Batch (3×) | 360g (12.7 oz) | 2 ½ cups + 1 ¾ tsp | 599.8 mL |
Measuring 120g 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, 120 Grams (120g) translates to 0.85 US cups (¾ cup + 1 tbsp + 1 ½ tsp).
Without a kitchen scale, measure ¾ cup + 1 tbsp + 1 ½ tsp (13.52 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.
