Measuring 300g 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, 300 Grams (300g) translates to 2.65 US cups (2 ⅔ cups). By contrast, using the scooped measure (135g/cup — a 22g per-cup shift), 300g occupies 2 cups + 3 tbsp + 1 ¾ tsp (2.22 cups).
Without a kitchen scale, measure 2 ⅔ cups (42.48 tablespoons total) using spooned & leveled technique. Fluff vigorously before measuring. The coarse bran flakes settle rapidly to the bottom of the canister over time.
