Volume vs Weight
A gram is a gram in every kitchen.
Why a cup of flour isn't always the same
Different flours weigh different amounts per cup. Whole wheat flour contains bran flakes that create air pockets, making it lighter per cup than finely milled 00 flour or dense semolina.
The chart uses typical cup weights for home baking.
