These conversions are for dry, uncooked chickpeas. Cooked legumes absorb water and have a completely different weight per cup.

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?

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.

Frequently Asked Questions

About 271.84 tbsp, based on chickpeas having a density of 200g per cup. The exact amount depends on how the ingredient is measured and the specific product.

For the most accurate results, weigh chickpeas on a kitchen scale. If measuring by volume, spoon the ingredient into the measuring spoon and level it off with a straight edge rather than scooping directly.
