Measuring Tip
Chickpeas are dense at 200g 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?
A gram (g) is a metric unit of mass equal to 1/1000 of a kilogram. It is the standard weight measurement for precise baking worldwide. Professional bakers prefer grams because they are more accurate than volume measurements.
What is a Tablespoon?
A tablespoon (tbsp) is a US customary unit of volume equal to 14.787 milliliters, 3 teaspoons, or 1/16 of a cup. It is commonly used for measuring smaller amounts of ingredients.

Yes. Dry chickpeas 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 chickpeas 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.
