Measuring 50g 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, 50 Grams (50g) translates to 0.44 US cups (⅓ cup + 1 tbsp + 2 ¼ tsp). By contrast, using the scooped measure (135g/cup — a 22g per-cup shift), 50g occupies ⅓ cup + 1 ¾ tsp (0.37 cups).
Without a kitchen scale, measure ⅓ cup + 1 tbsp + 2 ¼ tsp (7.08 tablespoons total) using spooned & leveled technique. Fluff vigorously before measuring. The coarse bran flakes settle rapidly to the bottom of the canister over time.
