Black-Eyed Peas Measurement Converter
Use the tool below to convert black-eyed peas from the measurements in your recipe to the measurements that you need.
Black-eyed peas are small, cream-coloured beans with a dark eye, central to Southern dishes like Hoppin' John and to many stews and salads. One metric cup (250 ml) of cooked, drained black-eyed peas weighs around 175 grams or 6.17 ounces. When a recipe lists them in cups but you are cooking from dried or a can, converting by weight keeps the ratio right.
Dried black-eyed peas roughly double in weight once cooked, and a can drains to about 240 g, while recipes mix cups, grams, and cans. Weighing in grams keeps the bean ratio steady.

Frequently Asked Questions
- Are black-eyed peas and black-eyed beans the same thing?
- Yes. Black-eyed beans is another name for black-eyed peas, so they are the same ingredient and measure identically. A cup of black-eyed peas weighs 175 grams under either name, and every conversion on this page holds whichever name your recipe uses. Recipes swap the two freely, so you can follow either without changing quantities or weighing any differently.
- What is 0.25 cups of black-eyed peas in tablespoons?
- 0.25 cups of black-eyed peas is 4.17 tablespoons. This is the same for any ingredient, since cups and tablespoons are both volume units and do not depend on what you are measuring. One cup is about 16.67 tablespoons, so 0.5 cups is 8.33 tablespoons. Use the volume converter to switch between cups, tablespoons, teaspoons, and millilitres for any amount. Open the volume converter

Related to Black-Eyed Peas
Kidney Beans
Kidney beans swap 1:1 by volume for cooked black-eyed peas with a larger, meatier bean and a deeper colour. They are a touch heavier per cup (185 g vs 175 g drained), so weigh when the bean ratio matters in stews, chilli, and salads. The flavour is milder and less earthy. See our Kidney Beans converter.
Butter Beans
Butter beans swap 1:1 by volume for cooked black-eyed peas, trading an earthy bite for a soft, creamy texture. They are a touch heavier per cup (180 g vs 175 g drained), so weigh when the ratio matters. Use them where a milder, smoother bean suits the dish. See our Butter Beans converter.
Chickpeas
Chickpeas swap 1:1 by volume for cooked black-eyed peas with a firmer, nuttier bite. They are a touch lighter per cup (170 g vs 175 g drained), so weigh when the bean ratio matters in salads, soups, and grain bowls. The texture is noticeably more robust. See our Chickpeas converter.
Red Lentils
Red lentils soften away in a stew where black-eyed peas hold their shape, so pick the peas when you want the pulses visible. The peas are 175 g a cup cooked and drained, against 200 g dry for lentils. See our Red Lentils converter.
