Using this food reference
The black-bean values describe boiled mature seeds without added salt. The cup comparison is from that cooked-bean record rather than a dry-bean measurement.
A bean soup or canned product can have a different proportion of liquid. Compare the edible cooked-bean weight, then log sauces and other recipe ingredients separately when they are part of your meal.
Match the food before using the numbers
The selected USDA description is Beans, black, mature seeds, cooked, boiled, without salt. Preparation, water loss, added oil, salt, edible skin, product formulation, and measured portion can change the nutrition of the food you actually eat.
