Measuring chickpeas
Dried chickpeas take up water when boiled, so cooked chickpeas weigh well over the dry weight they came from: dry is 378 kcal per hundred grams and boiled is 164. The records are USDA chickpeas (garbanzo beans, bengal gram), mature seeds, raw, and the same beans cooked, boiled, without salt. Canned chickpeas, hummus and roasted chickpeas are not covered. The bowl rows are Remembite typical-serving estimates (a medium bowl assumes 200 g), not USDA values.
100 g of dry chickpeas becomes about 230 g boiled, a smaller gain than lentils (303 g) or white rice (281 g). The records are 378 and 164 kcal per 100 g (FDC 173756 and 173757). A cup of boiled chickpeas weighs 164 g and has 269 kcal. A cup of dry chickpeas weighs 200 g and has 756 kcal. Of the five foods in this page's chart, boiled chickpeas are the highest per 100 g, above black beans (132) and lentils (116).
