How this conversion works
Milliliters measure volume while grams measure weight. Because Lima beans, dry has a density of 0.7 g/mL, 10 mL weighs 7 g — not 10 g as it would for water. This converter uses the real density of Lima beans, dry so every measurement is accurate.
Measurement notes
Values are rounded to the nearest whole gram. Actual weight can vary slightly with compaction, temperature, and brand. For precision baking, a kitchen scale is always more reliable than volume measurements.
FAQ
- Why is mL hard for cooked Lima beans, dry?
- Hydrated pieces settle in water, leaving pockets. The mL reading drifts, but the mass is well-defined — so weighing stays easier.
- Can I use frozen Lima beans, dry with the same gram values?
- Once fully thawed and drained, yes — freezing doesn't change mass. Don't weigh while still icy; ice trapped between pieces adds 5–10 % to the reading.
