How many grams of dried beans to make 500g cooked beans?
ie, I want to make 2 cups of cooked cannelini beans. How much dry beans will I need?
P.S. I am Australian. Answers in grams or Australian metric cups are appreciated. Thank you.

Canellini are just white beans... bit thinner than navy beans, but about the same size.
Answers:
I'm not familiar with cannelini beans, but as a rule, 1 cup of dried beans will make about 2.5 cups of cooked beans.
You cook them with extra water, obviously. That is, you might use 4 to 7 cups of water when cooking them, but once you drain off the liquid, there's about 2.5 times as much as you started with.
