A gram (g) is a metric unit of mass equal to 1/1000 of a kilogram. It is the standard weight measurement for precise baking worldwide. Professional bakers prefer grams because they are more accurate than volume measurements.

Frequently Asked Questions

About 283.20 g, based on whole wheat flour having a density of 120g per cup. The exact amount depends on how the ingredient is measured and the specific product.
Multiply the number of cups by 120 (grams per cup for whole wheat flour). For 2.36 cups: 2.36 × 120 = 283.20 g.
For the most accurate results, weigh whole wheat flour on a kitchen scale. If measuring by volume, sift or whisk first to break up clumps, then spoon into the measuring cup and level off. Do not scoop directly from the bag.
Yes, quite a bit. If you spoon the flour into your measuring cup and level it off, you will get about 120 grams per cup. If you dip directly into the flour bag and sweep level, the flour packs tighter and you can end up with 132 to 150 grams per cup instead. This conversion uses the spoon-and-level method, which is the standard most baking references follow.
Reverse the conversion: 283.20 g ÷ 120 = 2.36 cups. Or use the Grams to Cups converter.
