This flour weight chart is a handy reference for converting our flours from cups to grams. Organic Unbleached White All-Purpose Flour, our most popular flour, weighs 136 grams per 1 cup.
Baking is a science. And seemingly insignificant changes to a recipe can make noticeable differences in your baked goods. With so many types of flour varieties available and more and more home cooks baking by weight (not volume), Bob’s Red Mill handy flour weight chart can be an indispensable tool in your kitchen. For best results when baking, we recommend weighing the ingredients with a digital scale.
Our most popular flour, Organic Unbleached White All-Purpose Flour, weighs 136 grams per 1 cup.
All of our flours have slightly different weights per cup due to their varying densities and particle sizes. The amount of flour that fits into 1 cup depends largely on how big the particles are. If it's a coarser grind, like our Hazelnut Flour, less flour fits in a cup, so it weighs less per cup—only 112 grams. If it's a super-fine grind, like Sweet White Rice Flour, more flour fits into a cup and weighs more—160 grams!
1 cup of Artisan Bread Flour weighs about 144 grams when spooned and leveled off in a measuring cup. Scooping directly from the bag can pack in more flour, making your baked goods dense and heavy.
1 cup of Self-Rising Flour weighs about 136 grams when measured using the spoon-and-level method.
1 cup of Almond Flour weighs about 112 grams. Because it’s made from finely ground almonds, it’s less dense by volume and weighs less per cup than traditional wheat flours.
The best way to measure flour without a scale is to measure by volume using the spoon-and-level method. First, fluff the flour with a fork to break up clumps and aerate it. Then spoon it into a measuring cup and use the flat side of a knife or other straight-edged utensil to level the flour across the cup, sweeping the excess back into the flour bin.
Do not pack the flour into the cup or scoop directly from the bag, as both methods can lead to incorrect measurements.
The correct way to measure flour on a scale is to place a bowl on the scale, tare the scale, then spoon flour into the bowl until you reach the desired weight.
