  • Cup sizes are not standard worldwide, so the same cup of an ingredient can weigh more or less depending on the country. What is a cup measurement →

Green beans are slender, edible pods eaten whole, also sold as French beans or string beans. One metric cup (250 ml) of raw, trimmed and cut green beans weighs around 110 grams or 3.88 ounces. When a recipe lists green beans in cups but you are working from a fresh bunch, converting by weight keeps the amount right.

Whole, cut, and frozen green beans fill a cup differently, so volume measures drift. Weighing in grams gives a steadier result for casseroles, stir-fries, and salads.

  • snap beans

Peas are another everyday green vegetable measured by the cup, denser than cut green beans (145 g vs 110 g per cup). Weigh both when a recipe needs precision in a bake or stir-fry. See our Peas converter.

Corn kernels are a sweeter cup-measured vegetable, heavier than cut green beans (154 g vs 110 g per cup). Swap by weight rather than volume when building a mixed-vegetable side. See our Corn Kernels converter.

No scale? No worries. The tool below gives a good estimate, but for exact bakes a digital kitchen scale is worth it.
