Formula and Step-by-Step
- Start with 228 cups of lentils
- 1 cup of lentils = 192g

The same formula works for any amount. Multiply (or divide) by the density, then convert units as needed.
Measuring Tip
Lentils are dense at 192g per cup. Pour them into the measuring cup and level off without shaking, which settles the beans and increases the weight.

Understanding the Units
What is a Cup?
In US cooking, a cup measures volume, not weight. One standard US cup holds 236.588 ml of liquid. Because different ingredients have different densities, a cup of one ingredient can weigh very differently from a cup of another.
What is a Gram?
Grams are the preferred unit in professional kitchens and bakeries because they allow exact recipe scaling. To double a recipe, simply double the gram values. No need to worry about how tightly an ingredient is packed into a cup.
