Why measuring whole almonds by cup goes wrong
Whole raw almonds with skins weigh about 143 grams per cup. Sliced almonds — the same nuts cut paper-thin — weigh 92 g/cup because there's so much air between the slices. Slivered almonds (small matchsticks) split the difference at about 108 g/cup.
Practical tips for working with whole almonds
Toast almonds in a dry skillet over medium heat for 4–6 minutes, stirring constantly, until you can smell them. Cooled toasted almonds keep for a week in a sealed jar at room temperature and improve every salad and roasted vegetable you put them on. Untoasted almonds are correct for almond flour and for desserts that want the raw flavor (like a marzipan).
Note from this ingredient's record: Raw, unblanched. Sliced almonds pack much lighter (about 92 g/cup) because of all the air gaps.
