A bushel is a dry volume unit equal to 8 US dry quarts or approximately 35.239 liters. It's commonly used to measure agricultural products like apples, grain, and potatoes.

Why are dry and liquid measurements different?

Dry measurements account for particle size and settling. A cup of solid material doesn't compact the same way as a cup of liquid, so separate measurements ensure accuracy when dealing with bulk solids.

Understanding dry volume measurements

Dry volume measurements are used for solids like grain, seeds, and produce. They differ from liquid volume measurements. The US customary system has separate dry and liquid measurements to account for volume differences.

Common dry volume units

1 US dry pint ≈ 0.5506 liters
1 US dry quart = 2 dry pints ≈ 1.1012 liters
1 US bushel = 8 dry quarts ≈ 35.239 liters
1 US peck = 2 dry quarts
1 liter ≈ 1.8162 dry pints

Dry vs liquid measurements

A US dry pint is different from a US liquid pint. Dry measurements are larger to account for particle size and settling. One dry pint ≈ 0.5506 liters while one liquid pint ≈ 0.4732 liters. This distinction is important in cooking and agriculture.
