About these units
Taza (Spanish) (taza)
A taza is a Spanish cup commonly defined as 250 mL, though older regional variations ranged between 200 and 300 mL. Used extensively in Spanish and Latin American cooking, baking, and beverage preparation, the taza serves a role similar to the US or metric cup. Because many Spanish recipes rely on the taza, understanding its modern standardized value helps ensure accurate international recipe translation. It also reflects how culinary practices shape measurement conventions.
Gallon (UK) (gal (UK))
The UK gallon, defined as 4.54609 liters, is larger than the US gallon by nearly 20%. It originated from the British desire to standardize wine and ale measures, leading to a uniform definition during the 19th century. Today, the UK gallon appears in older recipes, fuel consumption discussions, and British Commonwealth trade documents. Although the UK now uses liters for petrol and milk, the gallon remains culturally familiar, especially in automotive contexts such as miles per gallon (MPG), where both imperial and US definitions cause frequent confusion. The UK gallon's legacy persists through its continued use in some Commonwealth nations and specialized industries where imperial measures remain customary.
