Dried Versus Cooked Bean Conversions

These conversions are approximations and depend on the type, size and shape of the bean:

Canned beans to cooked beans:

14 -16 oz can = 1.5 cups cooked beans
19 oz can = 2.25 cups cooked beans
28 oz can = 3 – 3.25 cups cooked beans

Dry bean yields after cooking:

1 pound dry beans = 6 to 7 cups cooked beans, drained
1 pound dry beans = about 2 cups dry beans
1 cup dry beans (most kinds) = 3 cups cooked beans
2/3 cup dry beans (most kinds) = 2 cups cooked beans
1/2 cup dry beans (most kinds) = 1-1/2 cups cooked beans
1/3 cup dry beans = 1 cup cooked beans

Chickpeas:

One pound dried chickpeas = 2 cups dried chickpeas
One pound dried chickpeas = 6 cups fully cooked and drained chickpeas
One pound dried chickpeas = 4 cans (15 oz each) drained chickpeas.

1/2 pound dry chickpeas = 3 cups fully cooked and drained chickpeas

Chick peas, great northern beans, and lima beans:

1 cup dry beans = 3 cups cooked beans

Lentils: 1 cup dried lentils = 3 cups cooked
