Frequently Asked Questions

How many grams is 2 dl of flour?

2 dl of flour weighs about 120 g. Since 1 dl flour weighs about 60 g, 2 dl is simply double. Remember this is an average โ€“ loosely sifted flour may weigh slightly less.

Is 1 dl the same as 100 ml?

Yes, 1 dl is exactly the same as 100 ml. 10 dl = 1 liter = 1,000 ml. Deciliters are mostly used in Scandinavian countries, while milliliters are more internationally used.

Why do oats weigh so little per dl?

Oats weigh only about 40 g per dl because they are large, flat flakes with lots of air between them. Compared to sugar with small, heavy crystals that pack tightly, oats take up much more space per gram.
