Bar length measures mass, not physical size.

A little perspective

The defined dry-seed mass of Chickpea is about 1.2 times the mass of 250 milligrams.

Measurements, assumptions & sources +

250 milligrams

The quantity is exact as entered. Comparisons use the clearly stated specimen, model or nominal measurement.

NIST — SI conversion factors

Chickpea

A defined dry chickpea 9 mm across and 300 mg in mass. Cultivar, grading and moisture change both values.

Defined examples — our methodology

The marked defined dry-seed mass is calibrated. Unmeasured illustration details are representative.

Relative size
Chickpea is larger on this measurement by a factor of about 1.2. Chickpea's selected measurement is approximately 20% greater than 250 milligrams's.

How to read the visual

The labelled spans and stored measurements determine the scale; unmeasured illustration details do not.

  • Chickpea uses a 300 mg central value within a recorded range of 200 mg–500 mg.
  • Chickpea is labelled defined specimen; treat the displayed value as a comparison anchor rather than false precision.
  • The recorded ranges overlap, so the ordering can vary even though the central values differ.
