Why Cup Weights Vary in Legumes

Legumes and pulses exhibit density variations based on seed diameter, coat smoothness, and moisture drying levels. Dry brown and green lentils have thin lens-like disk shapes that slide into tight packing arrangements, weighing 192 grams per cup. Whole raw chickpeas (garbanzo beans) are irregular wrinkled spheres with larger air gaps between seeds, settling at 200 grams per cup. Dry black beans and navy beans feature smooth oval hulls weighing 185g per cup. Yellow and green split peas have flat halves that pack compactly, reaching 195-200g per cup.
