2/3 cup dry beans (most kinds) = 2 cups cooked beans
1/2 cup dry beans (most kinds) = 1-1/2 cups cooked beans
1/3 cup dry beans = 1 cup cooked beans

½ cup dried black beans = 1 ½ cups cooked beans
1 (15 ounce) can black beans = 1 ½ cups cooked beans, drained
½ cup dried black beans = 1 (15 ounce) can black beans
1 pound dried black beans = 6 cups cooked black beans
6 cups cooked black beans = 4 (15 ounce) cans black bean
Chickpeas:
One pound dried chickpeas = 2 cups dried chickpeas
One pound dried chickpeas = 6 cups fully cooked and drained chickpeas
One pound dried chickpeas = 4 cans (15 oz each) drained chickpeas.
1/2 pound dry chickpeas = 3 cups fully cooked and drained chickpeas
Chick peas, great northern beans, and lima beans:
1 cup dry beans = 3 cups cooked beans
Lentils: 1 cup dried lentils = 3 cups cooked

1 cup raw red kidney beans = 185 grams = 6.5 ounces
