About these units
Dekaliter (daL)
A dekaliter equals 10 liters and is used primarily in agricultural planning, winery operations, and breweries. Wine production volumes, for instance, are sometimes recorded in dekaliters because it provides a manageable number between the hectoliter and liter scales. In beverage industries, daL simplifies recordkeeping by avoiding excessively large numbers when cataloging batches or tank capacities. Though uncommon in everyday use, the dekaliter plays a practical role in sectors dealing with medium-scale liquid quantities.
Dessertspoon (US) (dessertspoon)
The US dessertspoon, though rarely used today, traditionally equals 2 teaspoons or about 10 mL. Unlike the UK version, it never gained strong cultural traction in American cooking. Most US recipes skip directly from teaspoons to tablespoons, leaving the dessertspoon as a historical curiosity that occasionally appears in antique cookbooks. Despite its near-obsolescence, understanding the dessertspoon is important for culinary historians and those interpreting older domestic manuals.
