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 a Teaspoon?
One teaspoon holds about 5 milliliters. There are 3 teaspoons in a tablespoon and 48 teaspoons in a cup. Teaspoon accuracy matters most with leaveners like baking powder and baking soda, where small differences affect rise and texture.
What is a Gram?
Weighing ingredients in grams eliminates the variability of volume measurements. A cup of flour can weigh anywhere from 120g to 160g depending on how it was scooped, but 120g of flour is always 120g of flour.

The most accurate way is to weigh black beans on a kitchen scale. If you are measuring by volume, spoon the ingredient into the measuring spoon and level it off with a straight edge rather than scooping directly from the container, which packs more in and gives a heavier result.
Yes. Dry black beans 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.
Weighing is more consistent than volume measuring. A teaspoon of black beans can vary by 10-20% depending on how it's scooped, packed, or leveled. Weighing gives the same result every time, which is especially important in baking where precision affects texture and rise.
