runpunkrunSometimes you just want to know how much a cup of almond flour weighs, you know? (I always want to know this.) Or your recipe is in metric and you function in U.S customary units. That's where these resources come in. Going from volume to volume (e.g. deciliters to cups) or weight to weight (e.g. ounces to grams) is simple mathematics, but not everyone agrees on what a cup of almond flour should weigh (mine usually weighs 90 grams, some people say as much as 100 grams), so you'll have some variance in volume to weight conversions, but it's nice to have a rough estimate.
Weight and Volume Calculator for Flours brought to us by convert-to.com: An index of converters that will not only convert from volume to weight and back again, the almond flour calculator, for example, will also convert measurements to nutritional units like calories and grams of carbohydrates. These converters cover a variety of flours, starches, and nut meals, and also have descriptions and nutritional information for each ingredient. For almond flour it says 1 cup (US) equals 96 grams.
Ingredient Weight and Volume Chart from King Arthur Flour: A static page with a chart of flours and commonly used ingredients like fruits and vegetables, grains, dairy products, sugars, nuts and seeds, chocolate, and oils. It converts U.S. volume to weight: ounces and grams. It also has a little search box to narrow the list of flours or ingredients down to, say, "almond." King Arthur says that 1 cup of almond flour equals 96 grams.
Volume Conversion Calculator from Online Conversion: Covers simple volume conversions for cooking, though it includes some rarely used measurements, such as a bucket [US] and a peck [UK], so you have to sort through some nonsense if you just want to learn that 1 deciliter = 0.422 675 283 77 cup [US]. It could also stand to shave off a few decimal points there. Best calculator if you're looking to be punishingly thorough.
Weight Conversion Calculator also from Online Conversion: This isn't restricted to cooking measurements so if you've ever wanted to find out how many ounces in a metric ton, here's your chance. Does cover smaller units like pounds, ounces, and all the grams, but there's a lot to pick through to find them.
All of these converters are linked in the comm's sidebar. And of course Google's smart enough these days that if you search for "5 ounces in grams" it'll tell you 5 ounces equals 141.748 grams.

Weight to Volume Cooking Converter: Also from our friends at OnlineConversion.com, this thing's hardcore. Not only will it tell you that 1 cup [US] of almond flour = 95.108 grams; it tells you that calculation is based on a substance with a density of 0.402 g/cm³.
This converter will calculate the weight to volume (or vice versa) of everything King Arthur lists, but it also has candies, fish and seafood, beans, pasta, and tofu; it's even got things on here I've never heard of, like eppaw, which turns out to be a flowering plant in the carrot family. I ultimately decided it was too intense for the sidebar (and we only have a limited number of links), but I wanted to point it out because it's a good resource that does stuff no other cooking calculator will.
