The same formula works for any amount. Multiply (or divide) by the density, then convert units as needed.

Measuring Tip

These conversions are for dry, uncooked black beans. Cooked legumes absorb water and have a completely different weight per cup.

Understanding the Units

What is a Cup?

A cup is a US customary unit of volume equal to 236.588 milliliters or 8 fluid ounces. It is the most common volume measurement in American recipes. One cup can be divided into 16 tablespoons or 48 teaspoons.

What is a Gram?

Weighing ingredients in grams eliminates the variability of volume measurements. A cup of flour can weigh anywhere from 120g to 160g depending on how it was scooped, but 120g of flour is always 120g of flour.

Frequently Asked Questions

About 200.56 g, based on black beans having a density of 184g per cup. The exact amount depends on how the ingredient is measured and the specific product.
Multiply the number of cups by 184 (grams per cup for black beans). For 1.09 cups: 1.09 × 184 = 200.56 g.
For the most accurate results, weigh black beans on a kitchen scale. If measuring by volume, spoon the ingredient into the measuring cup and level it off with a straight edge rather than scooping directly.
Weight-per-cup values vary because of differences in how the ingredient is measured (spooned vs scooped), grind size, moisture content, and settling during storage. Our values use standardized measurement methods from established culinary references.
