Bushels as a Weight Measure. Because people can have varying ideas about how much a full bushel basket should hold, the government established standard bushel weights for each type of fruit, vegetable, nut and grain.

Leaves and greens take up more space with less weight, so a bushel of spinach need only be 20 pounds.
