  • A tablespoon here is the 15 ml metric standard, about 16.67 to a metric cup, the same size as a UK tablespoon.

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.
