Convert Kidney Beans from Cup (US)

Kidney Beans Measurement Converter

Use the tool below to convert kidney beans from Cup (US) to the measurement that you need.

Kidney beans are large, dark-red beans common in chilli, soups, and salads. One metric cup (250 ml) of cooked, drained kidney beans weighs around 185 grams or 6.53 ounces. When a recipe lists beans in cups but you are working from a can or a pot, converting by weight keeps the bean ratio right.

A 400 g can drains to roughly 240 g of beans, a little over one metric cup, while recipes switch between cups, grams, and cans. Weighing in grams ties them together so a chilli or salad lands on target.

Chickpeas are firmer and nuttier than kidney beans and a touch lighter per cup (170 g vs 185 g cooked). Swap 1:1 by volume in salads, soups, and stews where a different bean still works. See our Chickpeas converter.

Butter beans are larger, paler, and softer than kidney beans at a similar weight (180 g vs 185 g cooked). Swap 1:1 by volume for a creamier, milder result. See our Butter Beans converter.

Black-eyed peas are smaller and earthier than kidney beans, close in weight per cup (175 g vs 185 g cooked). Swap 1:1 by volume in stews and salads for a different texture. See our Black-Eyed Peas converter.
