How many grams of flour are in a glass, tablespoon, dessert spoon and teaspoon.
Flour is the main ingredient in cooking, and is often used for preparing first and second courses. Young housewives often come across recipes that say add the nth amount of flour. The first thing that comes to mind is to go to the store for electronic scales, but if you think about it, our grandmothers and mothers have been cooking according to these recipes for centuries, without using any scales. How? Using ordinary spoons, glasses and glasses.
In this article we will tell you and provide tables on how to measure a small weight of flour using improvised means.
How many grams does a tablespoon and a teaspoon of flour weigh?
In order to measure flour correctly, it is better to take it directly from the package, and sift it after you have measured out the required amount, since after sifting the flour is more “lush” and voluminous, and therefore there will be less grams of flour in the same volume.
In one level tablespoon (cut off evenly along the edges) there are 15 g of flour, but if you take a heaping spoonful, shake it a little so that the extra “peaks” fall off, you get 30 g. In a level teaspoon (again, cut off the heap) 5 g of flour, and with a slide (be sure to sprinkle the protruding peaks) - 10 g.
How many grams does a tablespoon and a teaspoon of flour weigh?
Also, don’t forget about the dessert spoon, which everyone probably has in their home. Take a dessert spoon, knock down the sharp peaks and you will get a full spoon with the top - you will get 20 g of flour, and if you cut off the top - 10 g.
What determines the weight of the bulk component?
Information on the Internet is very diverse.
According to some sources, the dining room holds 20-25 grams, counting flush with the edges and with a slide, according to others - 10-15 grams. How to determine who is right? It turns out that there are 3 ways to measure the desired weight:
- Use a spoon to scoop the powdered mixture from a large container, shaking the cutlery slightly a couple of times. The result is 25 g of premium flour. If you don’t shake, but leave a heap - 30-35 g, level the level with the edges - 20 g.
- Pour in the bulk substance - 20, 25, 15 grams, respectively.
- Pour the sifted ingredient into the cutlery - the weight decreases by another 5 g, respectively.
The weight of flour powder depends on the type of grinding. The smaller the fraction of particles (highest grade), the heavier they are.
The amount of substance in a tablespoon is also affected by:
- moisture or flowability of the flour product;
- type of ground components (potato, corn, oatmeal, rye and other initial products);
- the capacity of the cutlery itself (a device 7 cm long and 4 cm wide is considered standard).
Control measurements are carried out at an ambient temperature of 0°C, atmospheric pressure of 760 mm Hg. Art. It is simply unrealistic to achieve such conditions when cooking at home, so the term “tablespoon of flour” means the amount of product that is freely poured and held without crumbling. That means with a small slide.
Table of flour weight in tablespoons and teaspoons and glasses
A spoon is the most popular way to measure flour. After all, it’s fashionable to take it straight from the pack, and after that it’s enough to chicken out and rinse to put your inventory in order. We suggest that you familiarize yourself with the table, which shows the number of grams of flour and the number of spoons.

How much flour can a faceted glass or cup hold?
Bulk products weigh less than water in containers of the same volume.
According to the table of weights and measures, a 250 ml glass contains 155-160 g of flour powder. These tables were obtained experimentally, and even experienced chefs adhere to generally accepted values when preparing food. If we average the weight of the powder in a small heaped canteen, we get 20 g of bulk product. This means that an ordinary faceted glass (without a smooth rim) holds 6.5 (130 g) tablespoons of premium flour substance (wheat).
American or English cuisine operates with cups, the volume of which is 250 ml, and the weight of the product is 160 g. By arithmetic we calculate: 160 g divided by 20 g. As a result, the cup holds 8 tbsp. spoons of flour product.
Weighing using improvised containers has a measurement error of about 10%. If very precise adherence to the weight category is required, it is recommended to use a kitchen scale.
Or maybe it’s the scales?..
If you think that we have analyzed all the options for solving the problem called “How much is 100 grams of flour?”, then you are deeply mistaken! It turns out that there are other methods, and quite exotic ones. For example, previously this volume was determined by drawing a rectangle. Perhaps this method is more interesting and accurate, but from a practical point of view it is absolutely unacceptable. After all, in the process you will spill most of the product and get dirty, and 100 grams of flour is not worth such incredible effort. That is why it is best to use modern methods, i.e., purchase electronic scales, and enjoy preparing delicious homemade cakes.
How to measure flour
Wheat flour is a product obtained from wheat grains, the most popular type of flour used for baking. Wheat baking flour in Russia is divided into semolina, wallpaper, premium, first and second grades.
Premium flour or Extra flour has quite a bit of gluten (at least 28% according to GOST), it has a pure white color, is used for baked goods, and is often used as a thickener in sauces.
First grade flour is used for savory baked goods; products made from it go stale more slowly; this is the main flour for baking bread.
Second-grade flour contains up to 8% bran, so it is much darker than first-grade flour; it is used to make soft products and white bread, and when mixed with rye flour, black bread is made.
So-called “whole grain products” are baked from wallpaper flour; due to the presence of bran in such flour, products made from it have a higher content of fiber and B vitamins than products made from higher grades of flour. Graham flour is historically the first type of wheat flour, popularized in the first half of the 19th century in the USA and Western Europe for nutritional purposes.
How much flour fits in a teaspoon
It happens that even a dining room is too much. At the same time, dividing the contents into several parts is not entirely convenient. A smaller measure comes to the rescue - a teaspoon. The principle of filling cutlery is identical to the larger one. It is recommended to pour the powder into a container rather than scoop it up. Otherwise, the value of the substance being measured is lost.
A tea utensil with a capacity of 5 ml contains 4 g of product, if you count flush with the edges. With a small slide, the value increases to 8-10 g. To fill a glass with flour, you need to measure out 16 teaspoons of the bulk product.
If the recipe recommends sifting the powder, the event is carried out after measuring the required amount of the component. Sifted flour takes up a larger volume due to the enrichment of the product with air, so it does not fit completely into the measuring container.
The result is that the amount invested is less than what is provided in the recipe.
Liquid meters
Very often, special measuring cups are included with kitchen appliances. But often they can only measure liquid. What to do in this case? Experienced housewives know for sure that the 100 ml mark equals 65 g of flour. Of course, you need to understand that this is an “extreme” case, a completely inconvenient and not always accurate method of determining weight. But it is much more perfect and accurate than the “by eye” option.
How to weigh flour without scales
Not every housewife has a device for measuring the mass of food in her kitchen, however, people cope well even with very complex recipes. In order to weigh out the required portion, you can use vessels or spoons: dessert, table, tea. With one of these items on hand, you can easily get the grain you need for baking.

How many tablespoons in a glass of flour
Depends on the type and content. If the faceted one contains 130-160 g, then it will contain 4.5-5 tbsp. l. with a hat. There are five of them in the teahouse. If you take a level spoon from the first, you get from six and a half to eight. If you use tea, then 8. Many people do not understand how to measure 100 grams of flour without having a measuring device at hand. It's very simple: take 5 tbsp. l. without a slide or 3.5 with it. Now you know how many tablespoons are in 100 grams of flour.
If you have a faceted glass, then to get 100 g you need to pour so much so that the flour does not reach the rim by about a centimeter. There is another way. Sprinkle flour a little at a time, compacting it. To do this, after each new portion you need to carefully hit the dishes on the table. Get the tallest hat you can. You will get approximately 200-210 g. Then, from the resulting volume, separate approximately half by eye. This will be 100 g.
How many glasses in a kilogram of flour
If you have a lot of grain product, then it is easy to divide it into portions. To do this, you need to have an idea of how many glasses of flour are in 1 kg. Keeping all the above information in mind, it is very easy to draw a conclusion. If you don't know how to measure flour without a kitchen scale, use a cut glass. If you fill to the rim, you will get 7.5-8 units, depending on the density of the grain product and the level of humidity. If you fill the container to the top, you will get 6-6.5 pieces. In the case of tea, the quantity will be the same when filled to the rim.

How to select and store flour
In the store you need to choose a tightly sealed package. Flour in torn packaging comes into contact with air. In addition, bugs appear in such packaging.
- Flour should be stored in a cool, dry place. The shelf life of flour is limited, so manufacturers recommend using it within 6 months. If flour is stored in air, the oils oxidize, which is why it acquires a rancid taste. In hot weather, flour should be stored in the refrigerator.
- Flour should not lie next to washing powder, onions or other products that have a strong odor.
- If you have space in the freezer, it is good to pack the flour in a moisture-proof, airtight container. Flour can be stored this way for a couple of years.
- If the flour has an unpleasant odor, a changed color, or insects are noticed, be sure to throw away this product.
- Whole wheat flour should be stored in a cool place, particularly in the refrigerator, at all times, as the natural oils at room temperature will cause the flour to go rancid.
- Flour is not a scarce product. It can be purchased at any store, so there is no need to buy in stock. Focus on the amount of flour you need for 2-3 months.
- You can put a bay leaf in the container where the flour is stored to protect against insects. These leaves are natural insect repellents.
