About the units
Grams. A gram is one thousandth of a kilogram. The EU units directive states that the multiples and submultiples of the unit of mass are formed on the word “gram”, not on kilogram, and the gram is a legal unit throughout the EU. It is the measure on food labels, in recipes and in the post. A millilitre of water weighs about a gram. An ounce is 28.349523125 grams. The letter g also stands for the acceleration of gravity, which is a different quantity entirely.
Decagrams. A decagram is 10 grams, since the SI prefix deca means 10¹. As a decimal multiple of the unit of mass it is a legal unit throughout the EU, though it is rare in British and American usage. Ten decagrams make 100 grams, about one serving of ham or cheese, which is the scale the unit is built for. The symbol is “dag” and the prefix is written “da”, never “D”. Do not confuse deca, meaning ten, with deci, meaning a tenth.
