Bar length measures mass, not physical size.
A little perspective
The mass of 50 milligrams is about 1.25 times the defined dry-seed mass of Lentil.
Measurements, assumptions & sources +
50 milligrams
The quantity is exact as entered. Comparisons use the clearly stated specimen, model or nominal measurement.
Lentil
A defined dry lentil seed 5 mm across and 40 mg in mass. Cultivar, moisture and grading change size and mass; the seed is lens-shaped rather than spherical.
Defined examples — our methodology
The marked defined dry-seed mass is calibrated. Unmeasured illustration details are representative.
Measurement details
Why these numbers?
The visual compares mass with defined dry-seed mass. The records below preserve each value’s basis and caveats.

- Comparing
- Mass ↔ Defined dry-seed mass
- Relative size
- 50 milligrams is larger on this measurement by a factor of about 1.25. 50 milligrams's selected measurement is approximately 25% greater than Lentil's.
How to read the visual
The labelled spans and stored measurements determine the scale; unmeasured illustration details do not.
- Lentil uses a 40 mg central value within a recorded range of 30 mg–50 mg.
- Lentil 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.
