Chickpeas Measurement Converter

Use the tool below to convert chickpeas from the measurements in your recipe to the measurements that you need.

Chickpeas are round, nutty legumes used in hummus, curries, salads, and roasted snacks. One metric cup (250 ml) of cooked, drained chickpeas weighs around 170 grams or 6 ounces. When a recipe lists chickpeas in cups but you are working from a can or a pot, converting by weight keeps the ratio right.

A 400 g can drains to about 240 g, a little under one and a half cups, while recipes switch between cups, grams, and cans. Weighing in grams ties them together so hummus and curries come out right.
