I just happen to have a package of these in my pantry. There were 8 individual bundles to make up the 400g pkg .. so 50g each. I weighed one of the bundles on my handy dandy digital scale to be sure, and close enough, 49g.

Bean thread noodles:
Made from mung bean flour, these semitranslucent noodles turn clear when cooked, and often are called cellophane noodles or glass noodles. They can be quickly stir-fried or braised with other ingredients. The noodles are nearly pure starch, containing almost no protein, vitamins, or minerals (other than iron)

While they're definitely not suited for a low-carb diet, bean thread noodles are a useful substitute for persons with wheat or gluten intolerance.
