Dry Bean Arithmetic

We recognize that sometimes you want to use canned beans, sometimes dry, so here's a handy chart to remind you of the various relationships between dry, cooked and canned beans:

** Dry beans expand to about 2-1/2 times their original size when soaked.

** A one-pound package of dry beans equals about 2 cups dry, or 5-6 cups cooked.

** One 15 ounce can (drained) equals about 1-2/3 cups cooked beans.

Using the information supplied above:

1 2/3 cups of cooked beans (point 3 above) divided by 2 1/2 (the expansion factor in point 1 above ) equals:

2/3 cup of dry beans cooks up to 1 can of cooked beans.

From what I can find on the 'net, a 16 oz can of beans equals 7 oz of dried beans. So a 1 lb package of dried beans should be approximately the same as 2 16 oz cans.
