Why sources disagree

The cut changes how much fits in a cup. For whole almonds the sources agree within 1 g. For sliced almonds King Arthur lists 43 g per half cup (86 g per cup) against USDA's 92 g, and for slivered 57 g per half cup (114 g) against USDA's 108 g. Almonds are a tree nut, one of the FDA's major allergens, so tell anyone you bake for.

How to measure almonds accurately

Use the Whole, Sliced or Slivered setting to match the recipe.
Almonds are a tree nut: label baked goods for guests with nut allergies.
Weigh on a digital scale when you can, since cup scoops vary from cook to cook.

Convert the whole recipe, not one line

Converting a recipe one ingredient at a time is where mistakes slip in. Sous Chef imports a recipe from a link or pasted text, then converts every ingredient at once: dry ingredients and butter to grams, liquids to millilitres. Tap again to go back to cups.

US recipe

2¼ cups all-purpose flour
1 cup butter, softened
¾ cup brown sugar, packed
1½ cups milk

In Sous Chef, after "Convert to metric"

275 g all-purpose flour
225 g butter, softened
170 g brown sugar, packed
350 ml milk

Example output. Sous Chef rounds to amounts you would actually weigh, so its numbers can differ by a few grams from the table above.
