Convert volumes of dried lentils (e.g., brown, green, red) measured in metric cups (250ml) to their approximate weight in metric grams (g) and estimate cooked volume in metric cups.
| Metric Cups (Dried Lentils) | Grams (g) (approx.) | Cooked Volume (Metric Cups) (approx.) |
|---|---|---|
| 1/4 Metric Cup (62.5 ml) | 50-53 g | ~0.75 - 1 Metric Cup |
| 1/2 Metric Cup (125 ml) | 100-105 g | ~1.5 - 2 Metric Cups |
| 1 Metric Cup (250 ml) | 200-210 g (often ~200g) | ~2.5 - 3 Metric Cups |
