How to measure it accurately
Whole wheat flour still contains the bran and germ, so it absorbs more liquid than white flour and behaves differently in a dough. Weighing avoids dense, dry results.

Why does whole wheat flour have a different gram weight than other ingredients?
Because grams measure mass and cups measure volume, the conversion depends on density. Whole Wheat Flour has a density of 0.502 g/mL, so it is lighter than the same volume of water.
Does how I measure whole wheat flour matter?
Whole wheat flour still contains the bran and germ, so it absorbs more liquid than white flour and behaves differently in a dough. Weighing avoids dense, dry results.
