How to measure dried chickpeas accurately
For the most reliable baking results, weigh dried chickpeas on a kitchen scale rather than scooping by volume. One US cup of dried chickpeas weighs about 200 grams (7.05 oz), but the exact figure changes with how tightly it's packed and the brand. Scooping straight from the bag compacts dried chickpeas and can leave you 15 to 20% over, so spoon it into the cup and level it off for the closest match to the figures above. Use the tables for quick reference, or the converter for any custom amount in cups, grams, ounces or tablespoons.
Tip: One cup of dried chickpeas yields roughly the equivalent of two 400g cans once soaked and cooked. Add salt only near the end to keep the skins tender.
