400 grams of almonds = 2.80 cups (2¾ cups / 44.8 tbsp / 134.3 tsp)
Almonds has a density of approximately 143g per cup. Whole almonds. Sliced almonds trap more air and weigh closer to 92g per cup. Source: USDA FoodData Central. This is the figure used everywhere on this page, including the tablespoon and teaspoon values, so the numbers stay consistent whether you're reading the summary line, the table, or the FAQ answers below.
| Grams | Cups | Fraction | Tablespoons | Teaspoons |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 350g | 2.45 | 2½ | 39.2 | 117.5 |
| 375g | 2.62 | 2⅝ | 42.0 | 125.9 |
| 400g | 2.80 | 2¾ | 44.8 | 134.3 |
| 425g | 2.97 | 2⅞ | 47.6 | 142.7 |
| 450g | 3.15 | 3⅛ | 50.3 | 151.0 |
How the 400g Figure Is Calculated
400g divided by 143g (the weight of one cup of almonds) equals 2.80 cups. Multiplying that by 16 gives 44.8 tablespoons, and by 48 gives 134.3 teaspoons, since one cup always equals 16 tablespoons or 48 teaspoons regardless of the ingredient.
Almonds is lighter than water, which weighs about 236g per cup. That's why 400g of almonds takes up more volume (662ml) than the same weight of water would (401ml). For a side-by-side look at how other ingredients compare, see the 400 grams to cups page.
If Your Recipe Uses Metric or Imperial Cups
The 2.80 cup figure above uses the US Customary cup (236.588ml). Recipes written outside the US sometimes use a metric cup (250ml) or an imperial (uk) cup (284.131ml) instead. At 400g, that's 2⅔ metric cups or 2⅓ imperial cups of almonds, close to the US figure but not identical. The cup standard switch in the converter above recalculates this instantly for any gram amount.
Scaling 400g Up or Down
Doubling a recipe that calls for 400g of almonds means weighing 800g, or measuring 5.59 cups if you're working by volume instead of weight. Halving it means 200g, or 1.40 cups. Weight scales exactly with simple multiplication; cup measurements compound any scooping error each time they're doubled or halved, so weighing is more reliable the more a recipe is scaled.
Almonds vs. Other Nuts & Seeds
Within nuts & seeds, density still varies by ingredient. At 400g, flaxseeds (150g per cup) measures 2⅔ cups, while chia seeds (160g per cup) measures 2½ cups, compared to 2¾ cups for almonds. Swapping ingredients in a recipe by cup measurement alone, without adjusting for this difference, changes the actual weight used.
Using Almonds in Recipes
- Recipes typically call for this ingredient in amounts ranging from a tablespoon to a full cup, depending on the dish.
- Check your specific recipe for the exact gram amount, then use the converter above to find the matching cup measurement.
How to Measure It Accurately
Nuts & Seeds
Spoon in loosely and level off. Avoid shaking the cup, which settles the seeds and packs in more than the recipe expects.
For exact results
Whole nuts and seeds measure differently than chopped or ground versions of the same ingredient, since chopping reduces air pockets between pieces and increases the weight per cup.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is 400 grams of almonds in cups?+
400 grams of almonds is 2.80 cups (2¾ cups), or 44.8 tablespoons.
How do I measure 400 grams of almonds without a scale?+
Use 2¾ cups, spooned in and leveled off with a straight edge. If you only have tablespoons, use 44.8 tablespoons instead.
Why is almonds's gram-to-cup ratio different from other ingredients?+
Almonds weighs 143g per cup because of its own density. Whole almonds. Sliced almonds trap more air and weigh closer to 92g per cup.
Does a metric or imperial cup change this 400g conversion?+
Yes, slightly. 400g of almonds is 2⅔ metric cups or 2⅓ imperial cups, versus 2¾ US cups, since each cup standard holds a different volume.
