Grams of sliced almonds to millilitres runs on one number, 2.783391 millilitres per gram. It is a measured property of this ingredient rather than a defined conversion, which is why a generic volume-to-weight tool cannot give you it.

Put next to water — 1 g per mL exactly — sliced almonds measures 0.35927 g per mL. That ratio, 35.93%, is what separates this page from every other ingredient in the same units, and it is measured rather than defined.

Sliced almonds has a density of 0.35927 g per mL, so 100 mL of it weighs 35.93 g and 250 mL weighs 89.82 g. That single figure is what every other number on this page is built from — water is 1.00 g per mL, so this ingredient is 35.93% as heavy as the same volume of water.

Grams are the unit this conversion is really for. A domestic scale resolves to a gram, which is 1.18% of a cup of sliced almonds, so weighing gets an accuracy no measuring cup can reach. A 500 g pack of it is 5.882 cups, and a 1 kg pack 11.76.

The condition this weight assumes: Thin slices trap a great deal of air — barely half the weight of whole almonds for the same cup.

How it works, step by step

  1. Enter the quantity in grams.
  2. It is multiplied by 2.78339101765, the millilitres-per-gram figure for sliced almonds.
  3. The result appears in millilitres, with a second reading in tsp beneath it.
  4. Use the measure table if you want a standard recipe quantity rather than a number you type in.

Worked examples

50 g of sliced almonds in millilitres

Take 50 g of sliced almonds: 50 × 2.783391 gives 139.17 millilitres. Doubling the batch takes it to 278.339 millilitres, because the relationship is a straight proportion once the density is known.

150 g of sliced almonds in millilitres

150 g of sliced almonds weighs out at 417.509 millilitres. Divide 417.509 by 2.783391 and you get back to 150 g, which is the quickest check that the factor is the right way up.

500 g of sliced almonds in millilitres

500 g of sliced almonds weighs out at 1391.7 millilitres. Divide 1391.7 by 2.783391 and you get back to 500 g, which is the quickest check that the factor is the right way up.

How to read your score

0–0NothingZero is zero in either unit.
0–2.7834Under one gramLess than a single gram of sliced almonds — the range where a measuring spoon is more accurate than a domestic scale.
2.7834–11.1336Recipe quantityBetween one and four grams: the range almost every published recipe sits in.
11.1336–—Batch quantityMore than four grams of sliced almonds. At this size weighing is faster than measuring, and the exact figure under the gauge is the one to use.

Frequently asked questions

How many millilitres are in 1 g of sliced almonds?

One gram of sliced almonds is 2.783391 millilitres. Half that quantity is 1.3917 millilitres and double it is 5.56678 millilitres, so the figure scales straight up and down — there is no offset in this conversion, only the factor.

Why is a cup of sliced almonds not 236 g like water?

Because weight per cup depends on what is in the cup. Sliced almonds has a density of 0.35927 g per mL where water has 1.00, so a cup of it weighs 85 g rather than 236.6 g. That is a difference of 151.6 g per cup, and it is the reason a single volume-to-weight factor cannot be applied to every ingredient.

Does how I measure it change the weight?

Yes, and by more than most people expect. Handling changes the weight of a cup of sliced almonds by roughly 12% — about 5.1 g either side of 85 g — because thin slices trap a great deal of air — barely half the weight of whole almonds for the same cup. Weighing removes the question entirely.

Is a fluid ounce of sliced almonds the same as an ounce?

No. A fluid ounce is a volume — one eighth of a US cup, 29.57 mL — and an ounce is a weight. One fluid ounce of sliced almonds weighs 0.3748 oz, so the two readings differ by 62.5%. They coincide only for something with the density of water, and then only roughly.

Is this a US cup or a metric cup?

US customary: 236.59 mL, which is the cup every US recipe means. A metric cup is 250 mL, so the same cup of sliced almonds would weigh 89.818 g instead of 85 g — 4.82 g more, or 5.67%. Australian and some European recipes use the metric cup, and the difference is large enough to matter in baking.

Do I need a scale for this, or will measuring cups do?

At this size the spoon wins. One millilitre of sliced almonds is 0.3593 g, and a scale reading to the nearest gram is working at 278% resolution on that — a measuring spoon is the more accurate instrument below about 5 g, which is why spice quantities are still written in spoons.

How much does 15 mL of sliced almonds weigh?

15 mL of sliced almonds comes to 5.3891 g, or 5.3891 grams. This page runs that calculation in reverse — enter a weight and it returns the volume — and the ml-to-grams page does it in the direction the question is usually asked.
