The total number of grass seeds, with a few legume seeds mixed in, in one full pouse. There are at least 300 seeds here, and probably many more. Most of the seeds have had their fruit dry hulls removed by the mouse at the moment of harvest, as a way of packing many more seeds into a given volume (at least twice as many clean seeds can fit in the same space as seeds with their fruit hulls still on).
