Whole, slivered or ground — almonds by form
The form changes the weight in your cup. Whole almonds run about 143 g per cup (roughly 140–150 nuts), while sliced and slivered almonds are lighter and airier, and ground almond flour packs to about 96 g per cup. Because of that, never swap whole almonds for almond flour by volume — convert by weight instead.
Toasting whole almonds at 350°F for 8–10 minutes deepens their flavor and makes them crunchier; let them cool before chopping so they don't turn oily.
