How to measure quinoa flour
The chart entry is “Quinoa flour, 1 cup = 3 7/8 oz = 110 g”. It is lighter than the whole seed, which USDA lists at 170 grams per cup. Among gluten-free flours on this site, quinoa flour sits between amaranth flour at 103 grams and sorghum flour at 138 grams. Irish-style flour shares the 110 gram figure on the chart. Spoon it into the cup and level it; do not tap the cup. Half a cup is 55 grams and a quarter cup about 28 grams.
Sources: 110 grams per US cup is the weight per cup in King Arthur Baking’s ingredient weight chart (open the chart), entry “Quinoa flour, 1 cup = 3 7/8 oz = 110 g”. A US cup is about 237 milliliters.
