One metric cup (250 ml) of cooked, drained butter beans weighs around 180 grams or 6.35 ounces. When a recipe lists them in cups but you are working from a can, converting by weight keeps the bean ratio right.

A 400 g can drains to roughly 240 g of beans, a little over a cup, while recipes mix cups, grams, and cans. Weighing in grams keeps a casserole or salad consistent from batch to batch.
