Measuring Tip

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

Understanding the Units

What is an Ounce?

An ounce (oz) is a US customary unit of weight equal to 28.3495 grams or 1/16 of a pound. In cooking, "ounces" refers to weight (avoirdupois ounces), not fluid ounces which measure volume.

What is a Cup?

The US cup (236.588 ml) is slightly smaller than the metric cup used in Australia and some other countries (250 ml). When following recipes from different countries, check which cup standard is being used.

Does this ounces to cups conversion work for all brands of black beans? expand_more

Yes. Dry black beans are relatively consistent across brands. The weight per measuring cup may vary slightly depending on the size and age of the beans, but the difference is usually small.

Why does converting ounces to cups require knowing the ingredient? expand_more

The same weight of different ingredients fills different volumes because each ingredient has a different density. An ounce of black beans fills a different number of cups than an ounce of a lighter or heavier ingredient. That is why this converter needs to know which ingredient you are measuring.
