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 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.
What is a Tablespoon?
One tablespoon holds about 15 milliliters. There are 16 tablespoons in a cup and 3 teaspoons in a tablespoon. In baking, tablespoon measurements are used for butter, oil, honey, and other ingredients where a full cup would be too much.

If you have a kitchen scale, weighing black beans gives you an exact starting point for this conversion. If you need to measure by volume instead, spoon the ingredient into the measuring spoon and level it off with a straight edge.
Yes. Dry black beans are relatively consistent across brands. The weight per measuring spoon 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 black beans fills a different number of tablespoons than a gram of a lighter or heavier ingredient. That is why this converter needs to know which ingredient you are measuring.
