Units explained
Dekagram
A dekagram (dag) equals 0.01 kilogram, or 10 grams.
From the SI prefix 'deka-' (from Greek 'deka', ten).
Widely used in Central and Eastern European cooking and shops (dag/dkg).
Part of the original metric system introduced in 1795.
Masha
The masha equals about 0.972 gram, or eight ratti.
A traditional Indian mass unit in the ratti-masha-tola chain.
Small jewelry and gemstone weights in South Asia.
Part of the ancient Indian weight system dating to the Indus Valley era.
