The gram is one of the most commonly used units of measurement, but very few products weigh exactly half a gram “g” stands for gram
Grams don’t weigh much, so if you have a small amount, measure in grams
After doing some research I came up with a list of things that weigh half a gram
Pumpkin seeds Sunflower seeds Wheat peas Corn Fleas (insects) Houseflies (insects) Silica gel packets 25 carat diamonds Watch parts
pumpkin seeds
One ounce of pumpkin seeds contains approximately 84 seeds weighing 28 grams
By simple calculation, one pumpkin seed weighs approximately 04 grams
Season the pumpkin seeds with olive oil, salt, and garlic powder and toast over medium heat (350°F) for 12 to 15 minutes
sunflower seeds
A cup of 266 sunflower seeds weighs 133 grams
Calculate the weight of a sunflower seed and you will find that it is approximately 05 g
According to Healthlinecom, sunflower seeds are a healthy and nutritious food
Sunflower seeds contain good ingredients such as vitamin E, protein, magnesium, and linoleic acid, which help lower blood pressure, cholesterol, and blood sugar
With an average seed weight of 35 mg of the variety, 28,571 seeds were sown per kg of seed
A variety with an average seed weight of 45 mg would contain only 22,222 seeds per kg of seed sown
On average, peas weigh between 01 and 036 grams
Peas weigh 1819 g per 100 seeds and have a diameter of 7585 mm
Yellow peas are slightly larger than peas, with an average diameter of 8090 mm and a weight of 2021 g per 100 seeds
Kernels can be added to soups, salads, vegetable dishes, or served directly with butter, olive oil and seasonings
A grain of corn weighs between 02 and 05 grams, depending on the variety
Fleas are only 23 mm long and weigh less than 1 gram on average
Fleas are a common problem with pets, especially cats and dogs
Despite their small size, they are rather annoying and can quickly escalate into serious problems if not treated immediately
housefly (insect)
Houseflies are a common problem all over the world
Their dirty reputation and spread of disease make houseflies a serious health problem
silica gel packets
Silica gel or silicon dioxide (SiO2) is commonly encountered in everyday life as beads in small paper packages
One small packet of silica gel, available on Amazon, weighs about 05 grams
I put a packet of silica gel in my camera box to keep mold from growing inside the camera lens weightofthingcom
25 carat diamond
I don’t think I need to explain what a diamond is anymore
One of the facts is “expensive” Diamonds between 300 and 399 carats (carats) quoted by Diamondseinfo go for $16,158/carat
1 carat is equal to 02 grams, so if you have a 25 carat diamond, it is very light and very expensive at only 05 grams
Disassembling the clock reveals that it has dozens of individual components, all of which are tiny
These components are lightweight, weighing just 05g
