Formula and Step-by-Step
- Start with 4.79 ounces of lentils
- Convert ounces to grams: 4.79 × 28.35 = 135.79g
- 1 cup of lentils = 192g
- 135.79g ÷ 192g/cup = 0.71 cups × 16 = 11.32 tablespoons
The same formula works for any amount. Multiply (or divide) by the density, then convert units as needed.
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.
