How to measure green lentils (dry) accurately
For the most reliable baking results, weigh green lentils (dry) on a kitchen scale rather than scooping by volume. One US cup of green lentils (dry) weighs about 192 grams (6.77 oz), but the exact figure changes with how tightly it's packed and the brand. Scooping straight from the bag compacts green lentils (dry) 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: Green and Puy lentils stay firm when cooked, so they're the ones to reach for in salads — simmer gently and avoid a hard boil that splits them.
