Frequently Asked Questions

About 78.24 g, based on lentils having a density of 192g per cup. The exact amount depends on how the ingredient is measured and the specific product.
Multiply the number of tablespoons by 12 (grams per tablespoon for lentils). For 6.52 tablespoons: 6.52 × 12 = 78.24 g.
For the most accurate results, weigh lentils 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.
Weight-per-cup values vary because of differences in how the ingredient is measured (spooned vs scooped), grind size, moisture content, and settling during storage. Our values use standardized measurement methods from established culinary references.
