A recipe calls for 1 cup whole wheat flour, but I want to weigh it for accuracy. How much is that?

1 cup of whole wheat flour is about 113 g — slightly less than all-purpose flour (120 g) because the bran particles don't pack as densely as fine white flour.

Can I mix whole wheat and all-purpose flour by weight if my recipe only gives cup measurements?

Yes — convert each flour's cup amount to grams separately (113 g/cup for whole wheat, 120 g/cup for all-purpose) and combine the gram totals. This is more accurate than trying to measure a 'half cup of each' by volume, since the two flours pack differently.

Whole Wheat Flour: 113 Grams

Whole wheat flour includes the bran and germ of the wheat kernel, which makes it lighter and less dense per cup than all-purpose flour — about 113 g per cup versus 120 g. Because the bran particles create air pockets between them, whole wheat flour can also settle and compact in its bag over time, making volume measurements even less consistent than with all-purpose flour.
