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.

Kidney beans are softer and meatier than chickpeas and a touch heavier per cup (185 g vs 170 g cooked). Swap 1:1 by volume in chilli and stews for a different bean. See our Kidney Beans converter.

Butter beans are larger, paler, and creamier than chickpeas at a similar weight (180 g vs 170 g cooked). Swap 1:1 by volume for a softer, milder result. See our Butter Beans converter.

Black-eyed peas are softer and earthier than chickpeas, close in weight per cup (175 g vs 170 g cooked). Swap 1:1 by volume in salads and stews. See our Black-Eyed Peas converter.
