How many cups is 200 grams of black beans?

200 grams of dry black beans is about 1.03 cups. The same 200 grams of cooked (boiled and drained) black beans is about 1.16 cups, since cooked beans are less dense per cup.

How many grams is 1 cup of black beans?

A cup of dry black beans is about 194 grams, and a cup of cooked (boiled and drained) black beans is about 172 grams.

Why do dry and cooked black beans convert differently?

Cooking makes black beans absorb water and swell, so the same weight takes up more volume once cooked. A gram amount of cooked black beans fills more cup space than the same gram amount measured dry.

How much dry black beans do I need for a cup of cooked black beans?

Roughly a third to a half cup of dry black beans yields about one cup of cooked beans after soaking and boiling, since they roughly double to triple in volume.

Is this the same as a US cup or a metric cup?

This tool uses the US cup (236.6 ml). A metric cup (250 ml) would give a slightly different result for the same weight.
