Measuring 175g 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, 175 Grams (175g) translates to 1.55 US cups (1 ½ cups + 2 ¼ tsp). By contrast, using the scooped measure (135g/cup — a 22g per-cup shift), 175g occupies 1 ¼ cups + 2 ¼ tsp (1.30 cups).
Without a kitchen scale, measure 1 ½ cups + 2 ¼ tsp (24.78 tablespoons total) using spooned & leveled technique. Fluff vigorously before measuring. The coarse bran flakes settle rapidly to the bottom of the canister over time.
