Formula and Step-by-Step

teaspoons × 3.83g/tsp ÷ 28.3495g/oz = ounces

  2. 1 teaspoon of black beans = 3.83g
  3. 109 × 3.83 = 417.83g
  4. Convert grams to ounces: 417.83 ÷ 28.3495 = 14.74 oz

The same formula works for any amount. Multiply (or divide) by the density, then convert units as needed.

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?

A US teaspoon is 4.929 ml, a metric teaspoon is exactly 5 ml, and an imperial teaspoon is 5.919 ml. The metric and US versions are nearly identical (1.4% difference), but the imperial teaspoon is 20% larger. For most spices the difference is negligible, but for leaveners like baking powder it can affect the result.

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.

Frequently Asked Questions

About 14.74 oz, based on black beans having a density of 184g per cup. The exact amount depends on how the ingredient is measured and the specific product.
Multiply the number of teaspoons by 3.83 (grams per teaspoon for black beans), then divide by 28.3495 to convert grams to ounces. For 109 teaspoons: 109 × 3.83 = 417.83g, then 417.83 ÷ 28.3495 = 14.74 oz.
For the most accurate results, weigh black beans 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.
