Formula and Step-by-Step
- Start with 68 grams of black beans
- 1 cup of black beans = 184g
- 68g ÷ 184g/cup = 0.37 cups × 48 = 17.74 teaspoons
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.
