Measuring Tip
Lentils are dense at 192g per cup. Pour them into the measuring spoon and level off without shaking, which settles the beans and increases the weight.

If you have a kitchen scale, weighing lentils gives you an exact starting point for this conversion. If you need to measure by volume instead, spoon the ingredient into the measuring spoon and level it off with a straight edge.
Yes. Dry lentils 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. An ounce of lentils fills a different number of tablespoons than an ounce of a lighter or heavier ingredient. That is why this converter needs to know which ingredient you are measuring.
