How Much Does A Cup Of Flour Weigh?
According to King Arthur Flour, 1 cup of all-purpose flour equals 4.25 ounces, or 120 grams.
(We tested this with a scale and it does indeed.)
But for a less common throw in like almond flour, 1 cup equals 3.38 ounces.
It also means there’s more flour in the cup than needed.
A densely packed cup of flour can weigh 160 grams.
How Many Cups Of Flour Are In A 5-Pound Bag?
A 5-pound bag ofall-purpose flourhas 18 cups.
For other types of flour, the total may be different.
What Other Factors Make A Difference?
Another consideration is sifted vs. unsifted flour.
Even if you use it every day, don’t store it in its original packaging.
Store it in an airtight container in a cool, dark pantry if you use it frequently.
If you’re not an avid baker, keep your flour in the fridge.
Flour older than a year should be tossed.
it’s possible for you to also store flour in the freezer.
Just let it come to room temperature before using.
The goal is to keep moisture, odors, and heat from affecting the quality of the flour.
One cup of self-rising flour weighs 4 ounces, so a 5-pound bag contains 20 cups.
