About
Dried lentils are small, disc-shaped legume seeds that settle compactly, weighing about 6.7 ounces (189 grams) per cup.
With a bulk density of about 50 pounds per cubic foot (0.8 grams per milliliter), dried lentils pack more tightly than larger, rounded legumes like whole chickpeas. Their flat shape allows the seeds to slip past one another and fill empty space when poured. Because of this close packing, a standard 1-pound (454-gram) bag occupies only about 2.4 US cups (570 milliliters) of pantry storage.
From Wikipedia
The lentil is an annual legume grown for its lens-shaped edible seeds or pulses, also called lentils. It is about 40 cm (16 in) tall, and the seeds grow in pods, usually with two seeds in each.
