Measuring 25g 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, 25 Grams (25g) translates to 0.22 US cups (3 tbsp + 1 ½ tsp). By contrast, using the scooped measure (135g/cup — a 22g per-cup shift), 25g occupies 3 tbsp (0.19 cups).
Without a kitchen scale, measure 3 tbsp + 1 ½ tsp (3.54 tablespoons total) using spooned & leveled technique. Fluff vigorously before measuring. The coarse bran flakes settle rapidly to the bottom of the canister over time.
