Pinto Beans questions

chrisfuentes2005

I am going to cook home made ones and saids 1lb dry beans makes 5-6 cups cooked. I trying to figure out how you measure it out in calories, like RiceLand if you know what I mean. Thanks

I don't know what RiceLand is, but I weigh beans that I cook from scratch (drained weight), and use entries of the form
Beans, pinto [or whatever type I have cooked], mature seeds, cooked, boiled, without salt

I add salt after I decide what I'm doing with the beans, but there are "with salt" entries as well.
This is the language used in bean entries from the USDA database, and have serving options of both 100 grams and 1 cup.
