How Much Is 1 Cup of Wheat Bran in Grams?
1 cup of wheat bran equals 58.00 g. Wheat bran has a density of 58g per cup (58g per cup), which means it's relatively light compared to other common cooking ingredients. For comparison, 1 cup of honey would be 340 g.
Formula and Step-by-Step
- Start with 1 cup of wheat bran
- 1 cup of wheat bran = 58g
- 1 × 58 = 58g
The same formula works for any amount. Multiply (or divide) by the density, then convert units as needed.
Mental Math Shortcut
For 1 cup of wheat bran, just remember: 58g. Double it for 2 cups (116g), halve it for a half cup (29g).
Measuring Tip
For the most consistent results, weigh wheat bran on a kitchen scale. Volume measurements can vary by 20-30% depending on how the flour is scooped.

Understanding the Units
What is a Cup?
In US cooking, a cup measures volume, not weight. One standard US cup holds 236.588 ml of liquid. Because different ingredients have different densities, a cup of one ingredient can weigh very differently from a cup of another.
What is a Gram?
Weighing ingredients in grams eliminates the variability of volume measurements. A cup of flour can weigh anywhere from 120g to 160g depending on how it was scooped, but 120g of flour is always 120g of flour.
