How to measure wheat germ
The chart entry is “Wheat germ, 1/4 cup = 1 oz = 28 g”, multiplied by four here for a full cup. The chart lists it by the quarter cup. A tablespoon is 7 grams and two tablespoons 14 grams. The chart gives the same 28 grams per quarter cup for cornstarch and dried nonfat milk powder. Wheat germ weighs much more per cup than wheat bran, at 32 grams per half cup, and close to oat bran at 53 grams per half cup. Spoon it in and level it. Half a cup is 56 grams.
Sources: 112 grams per US cup is the weight per cup in King Arthur Baking’s ingredient weight chart (open the chart), entry “Wheat germ, 1/4 cup = 1 oz = 28 g”, multiplied by 4 for one cup. A US cup is about 237 milliliters.
