The tare weight can be subtracted when a filled container is weighed to determine the weight of the contents alone.Two plants are called tare:Common Vetch, or Vicia sativa, which is grown as livestock fodderRyegrass, or Lolium. This is probably the "tares" of the biblical Parable of the Tares (Matthew 13: 24-30) "But while men slept, his enemy came and sowed tares among the wheat, and went his way" (Matt 13:25 ;King James Version).
