Why Does 1 Cup of Semolina Flour Vary?

The weight of 1 cup depends on how you measure. USDA standard (spooned) = 167g.

🥄

Spooned & Leveled

Spoon the ingredient into the measuring cup, then level off with a straight edge. This is the standard method used by USDA FoodData Central.

Reference weight
☁️

Sifted

Sift the ingredient first, then spoon into the cup. Sifting aerates the ingredient, reducing weight by 10-20%.

~10-20% lighter
📦

Scooped (packed)

Dip the cup directly into the bag and pack. This is the most inaccurate method — can be 20-30% heavier than spooned.

~20-30% heavier

About Semolina Flour Density

Semolina: 1 cup = 167g. Coarsely ground durum wheat — much denser than all-purpose flour. High protein content (13-15%) gives pasta its firm texture. Used for pasta, couscous, pizza dough, and gnocchi. USDA FDC 20064.

⚖️

Pro tip: For consistent baking results, use a kitchen scale. Weight measurements eliminate the variability of cup measurement entirely. USDA values shown are based on the spooned & leveled method.
