About
Buckwheat groats are triangular seeds that weigh about 6.2 ounces (177 g) per level US cup.
Buckwheat groats have a bulk density of about 6.2 ounces per cup (0.75 g/mL). Their faceted, three-sided shape leaves small air pockets when poured, making them pack less densely than smooth, spherical seeds. A standard two-pound (0.91 kg) bag takes up a little over five US cups of space.
From Wikipedia
Buckwheat or common buckwheat is a flowering plant in the knotweed family Polygonaceae cultivated for its grain-like seeds and as a cover crop. Buckwheat cultivation originated around the 6th millennium BC in the region of what is now Yunnan Province in southwestern China.
