About
Hemp seeds are small, edible plant seeds that weigh about 5.7 ounces (161 grams) per cup.
Hemp seeds have a bulk density of about 42.5 pounds per cubic foot (0.68 grams per milliliter). A standard level US cup holds about 5.7 ounces (161 grams) of seeds. Because their round shapes leave air spaces between the kernels, they are noticeably lighter by volume than table salt or white sugar. They take up roughly the same amount of space per pound as other small oilseeds, such as flax or sesame.
From Wikipedia
The term hemp is the vernacular English language word designating the plant Cannabis sativa, a plant that can be used to make a wide range of products, and be refined into a variety of commercial items, including paper, rope, textiles, clothing, biodegradable plastics, paint, insulation, biofuel, food, medicines, and animal feed. Along with bamboo, hemp is among the fastest growing plants on Earth and was also one of the first plants to be spun into usable fiber 50,000 years ago.
