Formula and Step-by-Step
- Start with 2.47 cups of chickpeas
- 1 cup of chickpeas = 200g
- 2.47 × 200 = 494g
- Convert grams to ounces: 494 ÷ 28.3495 = 17.43 oz

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

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 an Ounce?
Weight ounces and fluid ounces are different measurements. A fluid ounce measures volume (29.574 ml), while an ounce measures weight (28.35g). They only align for water, where 1 fl oz weighs approximately 1 oz.
