Quick answers

1/4 cup of wheat germ is about 28 g, 1/3 cup is about 37 g, 1/2 cup is about 56 g, 2/3 cup is about 75 g, 3/4 cup is about 84 g and 1 cup is about 112 g (4.0 oz). One tablespoon is about 7.0 g and one teaspoon about 2.3 g.

Example: using wheat germ in a recipe

If a recipe asks for 1 1/2 cups of wheat germ, that is 1.5 x 112 g, or about 168 g. If a recipe gives 200 g and you only have cups, divide 200 by 112 to get about 1 3/4 cups.

How to measure wheat germ

Spoon the wheat germ into a dry measuring cup and level it with the back of a knife. Scooping straight from the bag packs it down and can add a lot of extra weight. If a recipe says sifted, check whether to sift before or after measuring, because sifting adds air.

Where these weights come from

Weights follow the King Arthur Baking ingredient weight chart (rounded). Brands and measuring methods vary, so treat results as close estimates.
