A source cup keeps the publisher’s meaning. It is not silently treated as a US or metric cup.

This entry includes a King Arthur whole wheat flour reference and a separate FAO/INFOODS wholemeal wheat density record. Their methods and scope remain visible instead of being combined into one unexplained value.

Choose the relevant flour record

The King Arthur record is for its premium 100% whole wheat flour. It does not cover the separate whole wheat pastry-flour record. Keep the product name from your recipe when deciding whether the reference fits.

The FAO/INFOODS record describes wholemeal wheat flour. Its underlying bibliography gives conditions of 21°C and 393 m altitude, but a detailed filling or compaction procedure is not supplied for this entry.

Understand what the density can support

The reported density permits an approximate mass–volume calculation within that stated scope. It is a published compilation entry, not a new measurement performed by BatchLadle.

Because the filling method is incompletely described, do not read a long decimal result as evidence of a repeatable cup weight for your own flour. A weighed amount from your recipe remains the clearer starting point.

Preserve the whole wheat share

In a mixed-flour formula, keep whole wheat flour as its own row while including its mass in total flour. That retains the composition of the formula when you change the target dough weight.

Keep whole wheat and other flour types separate in a shopping list. A combined generic “flour” total would lose the information needed to buy and weigh them.
