Mcg (microgram) is a measurement of weight or mass equal to one millionth of a gram, while ppm (parts per million) is a measurement of concentration expressing the amount of one substance in relation to a million units of a whole. In other words, mcg specifies the weight of a substance, while ppm indicates how much of a substance is present in a larger quantity.

Well, 1.0 ppm is equivalent to 1 microgram/gram, so multiply your ppm by 100 to get micrograms/100 grams lentils.

So, 0.05 ppm would be equal to 5 micrograms /100 grams lentils
