Quick Answer about "Conversion rate in volume of freshly picked beans as opposed to dried beans"

As a general rule, 1 cup dried beans makes about 3 cups cooked.

Can beans equivalent dry?

So for a recipe that calls for one 15-ounce can of beans, you can cook 3/4 cup (4.5 ounces) of the dried version and be in the ballpark. Conversely, if a recipe calls for 1 cup of dried beans, you'll need to buy two 15-ounce cans to have the 2+ cups worth of cooked beans the recipe will eventually yield.

How much do beans increase in size when cooked?

Dried beans absorb liquid when cooked so increase the liquid in the recipe when you cook with dried beans. Dried beans expand to about 2.5 times their original volume when soaked and 3.5 times their original volume when cooked.

What is the dry bean equivalent of a 15 oz can?

A heaping 1/2 cup of dried beans = one 15-ounce can of beans. 1 1/2 cups of cooked beans, drained = one 15-ounce can of beans.
