How Many Cups of Fresh Green Beans Equal A Pound?
>3 July 2012
I have come to find that a kitchen scale is one of those things that would come in REALLY handy when canning. Almost every canning recipe I’ve looked at measures in pounds. Like right now I’m up to my eyeballs in green beans, but I have no idea how many pounds I have.
So, I’ll measure in cups.
After doing a little search, I’ve discovered that 3 Cups of fresh green beans trimmed (meaning the tips have been broken off) equals approximately 1 pound.
If any of you just happen to be working with fresh green beans, and you have a kitchen scale, would you mind verifying this for me??
Hopefully that’ll be helpful to somebody

I never knew that. Good idea! I looked at canning stuff today and thinking when we get to our place to start canning.MMM…..
Try canning three bean salad if you like that sort of stuff. Easy recipes on line and a nice salad to eat all winter.
Wonderful article. So informative. I’m growing bush greenbeans in pots for first time. I was wondering how many beans to a bush.
do you have a bathroom scale? try weighing your beans on it if you do.
Nikki,
I do, but I didn’t think it would be very accurate.
