Dried weight and tinned weight = chickpeas

I have bought dried chickpeas and (used to, pre OS) usually cook an amount and chuck away what I don't use.
Haven't cooked them myself now for some years.
I don't want to cook the whole lot because I don't have any freezer space, but have a recipe for a 420gm tin.
Does that include water weight?
How many dried beans would I need to boil up for the same tinned weight?
Help please.................

Hi Lillie - couldn't find a thread but did a google, which suggest 3 x 420g tin is equivalent to 1/4kg (or 1/2lb) ? Does that help? Info found here
I am new to dry chickpeas so not entirely sure myself x
Edit - thread here and Kethry posted this link which may also help
Penny penguin saysI use about half the weight of dried pulse to tinned.A little nonsense now and then is relished by the wisest men :cool:

I use 125g dried to give similar amounts that a can would - the drained weight of a can is 240g of chickpeas. I got this from Madhur Jaffrey's World Vegetarian Cooking- she's got a few useful yields like this!0

like penny penguin, I use half the weight of dried. But do remember to look at the drained weight of the can in a 420g can the drained weight is usually given as approx 260g, so I'd be using 130g of dried.:D

ETA: sorry crossed posts, agree with the above entirely

A quick suggestion. Weigh the beans after cooking and draining and you'll know for future reference what a certain amount of raw weight will produce.0
