Grams to Cups: Almond Butter
If your recipe is written in cups but your scale reads grams — or the other way round — this page solves the conversion for almond butter. One cup of almond butter weighs about 256 grams, which works out to a density of 1.08 g/ml. From there, half a cup is roughly 128 g, a quarter cup about 64 g, and one tablespoon about 16 g.
Converting between weight and volume depends on density, and density is specific to each ingredient: a cup of almond butter does not weigh the same as a cup of flour or sugar. That is why this tool uses the measured density of almond butter, taken from the USDA FoodData Central database, rather than a one-size-fits-all figure.
