Understanding the Units
What is a Gram?
A gram (g) is a metric unit of mass equal to 1/1000 of a kilogram. It is the standard weight measurement for precise baking worldwide. Professional bakers prefer grams because they are more accurate than volume measurements.
What is a Liter?
Liters are the same everywhere, unlike cups, pints, and gallons which vary between US and imperial systems. This consistency is one reason professional kitchens worldwide prefer metric measurements.
