Why Cup Weights Vary in Nuts & Seeds
Nut and seed weight varies dramatically with prep cut (whole vs sliced vs ground) and oil concentration. Whole almonds leave large geometric gaps between nuts, weighing 140 grams per cup. Slicing almonds creates paper-thin flakes that lay flat with reduced air gaps, dropping cup weight to 100 grams. Grinding almonds into fine nut meal eliminates void space, increasing density to 112-120g. Ground chia seeds or flaxseeds settle tightly at 150g per cup. Smooth nut putters (peanut, almond, tahini) have air completely pressed out during milling, resulting in a dense 258 grams per cup.
