Batch Scaling Around 30g Whole Raw Almonds
| Batch Scale | Weight (g / oz) | US Cups & Spoons | Metric (mL) |
|---|---|---|---|
| Half Batch (0.5×) | 15g (0.53 oz) | 1 tbsp + 2 tsp | 25 mL |
| Standard (1×) | 30g (1.06 oz) | 3 tbsp + 1 ¼ tsp | 50 mL |
| 1.5× Batch | 45g (1.59 oz) | ¼ cup + 1 tbsp + ¼ tsp | 75 mL |
| Double Batch (2×) | 60g (2.12 oz) | ⅓ cup + 1 tbsp + 1 ¼ tsp | 100 mL |
| Triple Batch (3×) | 90g (3.17 oz) | ½ cup + 2 tbsp + ½ tsp | 150 mL |
Measuring 30g 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, 30 Grams (30g) translates to 0.21 US cups (3 tbsp + 1 ¼ tsp).
Without a kitchen scale, measure 3 tbsp + 1 ¼ tsp (3.38 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.
