How the estimate is calculated
A common method for estimating the number of grains per pound is to weigh a sample of
- Grams per grain: 25 grams / 1,000 grains = 0.025 grams per grain.
- Pound to grams: 1 pound = 453.6 grams.
- Grains per pound: 453.6 grams / 0.025 grams per grain = 18,144 grains.
Let’s understand with an example. There are 29,000 grains of rice calculated as 1 pound of long-grain rice. 1 pound = 16 ounces, it means 1,812 grains per ounce, 1 ounce = 28 grams. Rice varies according to culture and consumption. On average, Asians eat 300 pounds annually and USA consumes 26 pounds annually.
