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.
Ratti
The ratti equals about 0.1215 gram, the smallest traditional South Asian weight.
Based on the seed of the Gunja plant (Abrus precatorius), or 'raktika' in Sanskrit.
Gemstones and gold in Indian and South Asian jewelry.
One of the oldest weight units of the Indian subcontinent, later standardized.
