Important Considerations for Dried Cannellini Beans:
The weight of 1 US cup of dried cannellini beans is typically around **180-200 grams** (approximately 6.3-7 ounces).
Dried cannellini beans generally expand to about **2.5 to 3 times their original volume** when soaked and cooked.
Soaking dried beans overnight is usually recommended before cooking to reduce cooking time and improve digestibility.
Cannellini beans are a type of white kidney bean popular in Italian cuisine.
For accurate meal planning, measuring by weight can be more consistent than by volume.
