-A bushel of green beans weighs approximately 30 pounds,and will cost around $30.00 from a farmer's market. -It takes about 3/4 pounds of beans per pint, so you should get about 40 pints from a bushel. If you grow your own, you only have the cost of seeds (1/4 pound of seeds cost around $2.50.) You could get considerably more than a bushel of beans from 1/4 pounds of seed, but for now assume you only get one bushel. -Average cost for a can of green beans from the store = around $1.25.
Both are very old English units of measuring volume. A bushel is a British imperial capacity measure for liquid or dry and is 2152.42 cubic inches. If that makes no sense to you, join the club. A bushel of potatoes would weigh 60 pounds, a bushel of oats comes in at 32 pounds, and barley weighs 48 pounds. A peck is 1/4 of a bushel. In dry measure it is 8 quarts. So when Peter Piper picked a peck of pickled peppers, exactly how many peppers did Peter Piper pick? It would depend on the type of pepper, so the answer would be somewhere between 10 to 14 pounds.
