| 1.5× Batch | 127.5g (4.5 oz) | ¾ cup + 2 tbsp + 1 tsp | 212.4 mL |
| Double Batch (2×) | 170g (6 oz) | 1 cup + 3 tbsp + ½ tsp | 283.2 mL |

Measuring 85g 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, 85 Grams (85g) translates to 0.60 US cups (½ cup + 1 tbsp + 1 ¾ tsp).
Without a kitchen scale, measure ½ cup + 1 tbsp + 1 ¾ tsp (9.58 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.
