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 Quart?
The quart gets its name from "quarter" (of a gallon). One US quart is about 5.7% smaller than 1 liter (946 ml vs 1,000 ml). Always use the exact unit your recipe specifies.
