Questions
How many grams is a cup of whole wheat flour?
A US cup (236.6 ml) of whole wheat flour weighs 120 g. A metric cup (250 ml) weighs about 127 g.
How many grams is a tablespoon of whole wheat flour?
A 15 ml tablespoon holds about 7.6 g and a US tablespoon (14.8 ml) about 7.5 g. A 5 ml teaspoon holds about 2.5 g.
Can I replace all-purpose flour with whole wheat flour?
Not always one for one. Whole wheat flour absorbs more liquid and gives a denser crumb. Start by replacing a quarter to half of the white flour and add a little extra liquid.
Does whole wheat flour weigh the same as all-purpose flour?
Almost: the USDA lists 120 g per cup against 125 g for all-purpose flour. By weight you can compare them directly; by volume they differ a little.
What is the French or German equivalent?
In France look for farine complète (T150) or semi-complète (T110). In Germany, Weizenvollkornmehl is the whole-grain flour. Both are close to American whole wheat flour.
A US cup of whole wheat flour weighs 120 g according to the USDA, a 15 ml tablespoon about 7.6 g and 100 ml about 51 g.
That is a little less than a cup of all-purpose flour (125 g in the USDA data), because the bran and germ make the flour coarser.
