To convert millilitres of sliced almonds into grams, multiply by 0.35927399: one millilitre comes to 0.35927399 grams. Every ingredient has its own figure here, because the units are measuring different things and only the density links them.
Water is the yardstick: 1 mL of it weighs 1 g. Sliced almonds comes in at 0.35927 g per mL, or 35.93% of water, which is why a cup of it is 85 g rather than 236.6 g. Volume and weight only line up for water, and only in metric.
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.
How the figure is arrived at: Thin slices trap a great deal of air — barely half the weight of whole almonds for the same cup.
The formula
millilitres- The amount of sliced almonds you are converting, in millilitres
0.359273991207- Grams per millilitre for sliced almonds, from its density of 0.35927 g/mL
grams- The equivalent quantity in grams
How it works, step by step
- Enter the quantity in millilitres.
- It is multiplied by 0.359273991207, the grams-per-millilitre figure for sliced almonds.
- The result appears in grams, with a second reading in oz beneath it.
- Use the measure table if you want a standard recipe quantity rather than a number you type in.
Worked examples
15 mL of sliced almonds in grams
15 mL of sliced almonds weighs out at 5.38911 grams. Divide 5.38911 by 0.35927399 and you get back to 15 mL, which is the quickest check that the factor is the right way up.
100 mL of sliced almonds in grams
Take 100 mL of sliced almonds: 100 × 0.35927399 gives 35.9274 grams. Doubling the batch takes it to 71.8548 grams, because the relationship is a straight proportion once the density is known.
250 mL of sliced almonds in grams
Take 250 mL of sliced almonds: 250 × 0.35927399 gives 89.8185 grams. Doubling the batch takes it to 179.637 grams, because the relationship is a straight proportion once the density is known.

Frequently asked questions
How many grams are in 1 mL of sliced almonds?
One millilitre of sliced almonds is 0.35927399 grams. Half that quantity is 0.179637 grams and double it is 0.718548 grams, 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 many millilitres of sliced almonds is 500 g?
500 g of sliced almonds is 1391.7 millilitres — 2.78339 millilitres to one gram, so 500 × 2.78339 = 1391.7. Going that way is a division by 0.359274, or a multiplication by 2.78339 if you prefer.
