Tare is a term in weights and measurements which refers to the weight of an empty container. 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 fodder
Ryegrass, 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). Also known as 'darnel", or 'cheat'. The seeds of at least the bearded darnel Lolium temulentum are considered poisonous.
Tare (タレ) is a general term in Japanese Cuisine for dipping sauces often used in grilling (yakitori and yakiniku) as well as with sushi and nabemono. The sauce is best described as sweetened, thickened soy sauce for grilling and flavored soy sauce with dashi, vinegar, etc. for nabemono and natto such as ponzu but every chef has their own variation.
In the martial art of Kendo, a Tare is a term used for a piece of bogu protecting the wearer's waist and groin.
