Interesting fact: A cup of flour changes weight depending on whether it is scooped, spooned, or sifted.
The answer: Typically, a cup of flour weighs about 120 to 130 grams (4.2 to 4.6 ounces). The exact weight depends on size, variety, preparation, brand, and how much edible or non-edible material is included.
Staple foods can change weight dramatically between dry and cooked forms because they absorb water. Practical weights matter for recipes, bulk storage, meal prep, and converting volume measurements into real mass.
