What is a decagram?

Everyone's heard of grams and kilograms, but what is a decagram? A decagram (dag) is a unit of mass that equals 10 grams. It's not as common, but it's still useful for measuring quantities like cheese slices or ham. Although cheese is sometimes displayed in milliliters, not grams or decagrams, if you need this kind of tool, check out our ml to grams converter!

Here's how it compares to other units:

  • 1 milligram (mg) is equal to 0.001 grams;
  • 1 gram (g) is well... 1 gram 😊;
  • 1 decagram (dag) is equal to 10 grams; and
  • 1 kilogram (kg) is equal to 1000 grams.

So, a decagram fits nicely between grams and kilograms!
