things people ask

• How much does a tablespoon of whole wheat flour weigh?
  Roughly 7 g per level tablespoon, which lines up with 113 g divided across 16 tablespoons in a cup. A heaping tablespoon — the kind you get when you scoop without leveling — runs closer to 10-11 g, so for a roux or slurry where the flour-to-fat ratio matters, level the spoon against the side of the bag to keep gravies from going pasty.
• Can I use whole wheat flour by the tablespoon to thicken stews and gravies?
  Yes, and it suits rustic gravies for pot roast, lentil stews, and mushroom sauces where a slight tan color and wheaty flavor are welcome. Use about 1 tablespoon (7 g) of whole wheat flour per cup of liquid for a light body, or 2 tablespoons for a coating gravy. Cook the flour in fat for at least a minute before adding liquid — raw bran tastes grassy if you skip that step.
• Is a tablespoon of whole wheat flour in a smoothie a useful fiber boost?
  One tablespoon adds roughly 1 g of fiber and around 25 calories, which is a modest but real bump. The catch is that raw flour is not recommended for food-safety reasons, so toast the tablespoon in a dry skillet for 4-5 minutes until it smells nutty before stirring it into a smoothie or overnight oats. Toasted whole wheat also tastes better — closer to a malted shake than a paste.
