It was narrated that Abdullah ibn Umar said, “The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) ordained Zakat Al-Fitr; sa` (about four handfuls) of dates or sa` or barley for Muslims; the free and the slave, male and female, young or old. And he ordered that it should be paid before going out for prayer (meaning `Eid Prayer).” (Al-Bukhari)
If I understand your question correctly, you want to give out grain instead of cash to the poor in Zakat Al-Fitr, and you wish to know how much grain to give.
The answer is: it is stated as one sa`, and one sa` is four handfuls; it is estimated to be approximately two and a half kilograms.
However, it is best to give cash instead of grain if people cannot readily make use of grain as is the case in the urban centers.
