Convert volumes of rye flour (light, medium, or dark/pumpernickel) measured in metric cups (250ml) to its approximate weight in metric grams (g) and imperial/US ounces (oz).

Important Considerations for Rye Flour:
The weight of 1 Metric Cup (250ml) of rye flour varies: Light rye is around **105-115 grams**, while dark/whole rye (pumpernickel) is heavier, around **115-128 grams**.
Use the "spoon and level" method for measuring.
Rye flour has lower gluten and absorbs more water than wheat flour.
For precise rye bread baking, **measuring by weight is highly recommended.**
