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.
