Dried Black-Eyed Peas: US Cups to Grams (g) & Cooked Volume Conversion
Convert volumes of dried black-eyed peas (cowpeas) measured in US cups to their approximate weight in metric grams (g) and estimate the resulting cooked volume.

Important Considerations for Dried Black-Eyed Peas:
The weight of 1 US cup of dried black-eyed peas is typically around **180-200 grams** (approximately 6.3-7 ounces).
Dried black-eyed peas generally expand to about **2 to 3 times their original volume** when soaked and cooked. They cook relatively quickly compared to other dried beans.
Soaking for a few hours or overnight is often recommended but not always strictly necessary for black-eyed peas, though it can reduce cooking time.
For accurate meal planning or recipes where exact quantities are important, measuring by weight can be more consistent.
