ALMOND FLOUR EQUIVALENCE
Almond Flour Equivalence
Question: How many cups are there in a half pound of almond flour?
Marcia answers:
Over here in Europe they use weights instead of volume measures,
so instead of measuring cups, everybody has a little scale in their
kitchen. I have the scale AND the cups....so I've gone and done
a little experiment for you.
The short answer:
1/2 lb almond flours is a little more than 1 3/4 cups. You probably
will not go wrong with 2 scant cups.
The long answer for the mathematically inclined:
1 cup weighed 127 grams (measure cup itself not included in
that weight)
1/2 lb = 225 grams (because there are 2.2lbs to the kilo,
so multiply
pounds by .45 to get kilos. .5 x .45 =.225)
225 divided by 127 = 1.77,
which is very close to 1.75, which is the same as 1 & 3/4
Voila, happy cake-baking!

The book should be required reading for anyone with Crohn's disease and we wish gastroenterologists would read it as well. The diet is a real alternative to the drug based therapy from the medical community.
