Measuring 225g of Whole Wheat Flour in the Kitchen
Because 1 US Customary Cup (236.6 mL) of whole wheat flour weighs 113g when measured spooned & leveled, 225 Grams (225g) translates to 1.99 US cups (2 cups). By contrast, using the scooped measure (135g/cup — a 22g per-cup shift), 225g occupies 1 ⅔ cups (1.67 cups).
Without a kitchen scale, measure 2 cups (31.86 tablespoons total) using spooned & leveled technique. Fluff vigorously before measuring. The coarse bran flakes settle rapidly to the bottom of the canister over time.
