Grams
Gram (abbreviation: g) is a metric unit of mass. In the SI one gram equals to 1/1000 of a kilogram or 1E3 kg. Today gram is a widely used measure for the solids calculation during cooking and products in grocery stores around the world.
Kilograms
The kilogram (symbol: kg) also known as kilo – is the base measurement unit of mass in the International System of Units (SI). It is defined as being equal to the mass of the International Prototype of the Kilogram (IPK), correlates with the mass of almost one liter of water. It is the only base measurement unit in which prefix («kilo», symbol: «K») is used as a part of its name. Kilogram is very stable, and it is important because 4 of the 7 base units in the SI system are defined relative to the kilogram.
