Formula and Step-by-Step
- Start with 60 grams of black beans
- 1 cup of black beans = 184g
- 60g ÷ 184g/cup = 0.33 cups × 16 = 5.22 tablespoons
The same formula works for any amount. Multiply (or divide) by the density, then convert units as needed.

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.
