How to measure roasted buckwheat groats
The USDA entry is “Buckwheat groats, roasted, dry, 1 cup = 164 g”. King Arthur Baking’s chart lists whole buckwheat at 170 grams per cup, 6 grams more, without saying whether it is roasted. Buckwheat flour, by contrast, is 120 grams per cup on the chart, so the whole groats and the flour do not convert alike. Among the grains here, groats sit close to wild rice at 160 grams and uncooked quinoa at 170 grams. Level the cup with a knife. Half a cup is 82 grams and a quarter cup 41 grams.
Sources: 164 grams per US cup is the cup weight in USDA FoodData Central (open FDC entry 170685), entry “Buckwheat groats, roasted, dry, 1 cup = 164 g”. Cup and ounce sizes: NIST SP 811.
