Formula and Step-by-Step
- Start with 115 grams of black beans
- 1 cup of black beans = 184g
- 115g ÷ 184g/cup = 0.63 cups × 16 = 10.00 tablespoons
The same formula works for any amount. Multiply (or divide) by the density, then convert units as needed.
Measuring Tip
Black beans are dense at 184g per cup. Pour them into the measuring spoon and level off without shaking, which settles the beans and increases the weight.

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?
Tablespoon sizes differ by country. A US tablespoon is 14.787 ml, close to the 15 ml metric standard used in most countries. An Australian tablespoon is 20 ml, about 35% larger than US. An imperial tablespoon is 17.758 ml. If your recipe comes from Australia, the larger tablespoon size can make a real difference.
