Measured spooned & leveled at a verified bulk density of 113g per US cup, 1 tablespoon of whole wheat flour weighs 7.1 grams (0.25 ounces). Measured using the scooped method (135g/cup), that same 1 tbsp holds 8.4g — a 1.4g difference in your mixing bowl.
Fluff vigorously before measuring. The coarse bran flakes settle rapidly to the bottom of the canister over time.
