A deciliter (dL) is a common metric unit of volume equal to one-tenth of a liter.
It is often used in cooking and medical measurements.
While less common in North America, the deciliter is a standard unit of measurement in many European kitchens, especially in Scandinavia.
It's frequently used in recipes to measure both dry and liquid ingredients, such as flour, sugar, water, and milk.
You'll often find it printed on measuring cups and food packaging throughout the region.
The deciliter plays a crucial role in the medical field.
Blood test results often use this unit to express the concentration of substances in the blood.
For example, blood sugar levels are commonly measured in milligrams per deciliter (mg/dL), and cholesterol levels are also frequently reported this way.
The deciliter fits neatly within the decimal-based metric system.
The prefix "deci-" means one-tenth, so a deciliter is exactly one-tenth of a liter.
