Raw, cooked and other forms
The same measure weighs differently once food is cooked, dried or canned, and so do the calories in it. USDA numbers for each form:
| Form | USDA measure | Calories per 3.5 oz (100 g) | Protein per 3.5 oz (100 g) |
|---|---|---|---|
| Boiled mung beans | 1 cup: 7.1 oz (202 g) | 105 calories | 7 g |
| Raw mung beans | 1 cup: 7.3 oz (207 g) | 347 calories | 23.9 g |
100 g (3.5 oz) of raw mung beans makes about 333 g (11.7 oz) of boiled mung beans. By volume, 1 cup raw turns into about 3 1/3 cups cooked.
Estimate: the dry matter is assumed to stay in the food, so the weight changes only by the water USDA measured in each form. The real yield depends on how much water you cook it in and for how long.

How we calculate: each household measure is the gram weight USDA lists for this food. Calories and nutrients are the USDA values per 3.5 oz (100 g) scaled to that weight. 1 oz = 28.35 g and 1 lb = 453.6 g. Cup fractions are rounded to the nearest kitchen measure. A dash (—) means USDA reports no value. How we verify.
