How many chickpeas are in one can?

Published in Food science 1 min read

It is impossible to give an exact number of chickpeas in one can, as it depends on several factors. However, we can provide an estimate.

The number of chickpeas in a standard can varies due to:

  • Can Size: Standard can sizes are usually around 400g/15 ounces.
  • Chickpea Size: The size of individual chickpeas varies.
  • Liquid Content: The amount of water or brine in the can affects the bean to liquid ratio.
  • Processing Methods: Some brands might pack their chickpeas more tightly than others.

Given that a typical 400g can (drained) contains roughly 250g (or 1 1/2 cups) of cooked chickpeas, and considering the varying sizes, it's reasonable to estimate that a standard can contains approximately 400-600 individual chickpeas. This is a rough estimation and the actual number may vary.
