Measuring 30g 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, 30 Grams (30g) translates to 0.27 US cups (¼ cup). By contrast, using the scooped measure (135g/cup — a 22g per-cup shift), 30g occupies 3 tbsp + 1 ¾ tsp (0.22 cups).
Without a kitchen scale, measure ¼ cup (4.25 tablespoons total) using spooned & leveled technique. Fluff vigorously before measuring. The coarse bran flakes settle rapidly to the bottom of the canister over time.
