If you have a kitchen scale, weighing chickpeas gives you an exact starting point for this conversion. If you need to measure by volume instead, spoon the ingredient into the measuring cup and level it off with a straight edge.
Yes. Dry chickpeas are relatively consistent across brands. The weight per measuring cup may vary slightly depending on the size and age of the beans, but the difference is usually small.
The same weight of different ingredients fills different volumes because each ingredient has a different density. A gram of chickpeas fills a different number of cups than a gram of a lighter or heavier ingredient. That is why this converter needs to know which ingredient you are measuring.
