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.

A Kanna is a traditional unit of volume from Sweden, equal to 2.617 liters.
The word itself means "can," "pot," or "jug" in Swedish, directly reflecting its use as a container for measuring.
The correct plural form is Kannor, a term you'll find in historical records and recipes.
The Kanna has deep roots in Swedish history, serving as a standard unit of measurement long before the country adopted the metric system in 1889.
This measurement was a part of everyday life, used in homes and markets all across Sweden to measure everything from milk and spirits to dry goods.
The Kanna was part of a larger system of units, where a stop was half a Kanna, and a tunna (or barrel) was made up of 48 Kannor.
To help you visualize this volume, one Kanna is approximately the size of a large 2-liter soda bottle.
