About these units

Gill (imperial)

The Imperial gill is a unit of measurement used to quantify liquid volumes, particularly in the UK and countries using the Imperial system. It is defined as 5 fluid ounces or approximately 142.065 milliliters. Historically, the gill was used for measuring smaller quantities of liquids, such as beverages and medicinal preparations. Today, while its use has declined, it is still recognized in some contexts and historical documents, providing a measure for small liquid volumes consistent with the Imperial system.

Cup (US food nutrition labeling)

The US cup for food nutrition labeling is a unit of measurement used to quantify liquid volumes in nutritional information and food labeling in the United States. It is defined as 240 milliliters, which provides a standardized volume for consistency in nutritional data. This measurement was introduced to align with FDA regulations and ensure uniformity in food packaging and nutritional labeling. Today, it is used in food products and nutrition labels to offer clear and consistent information for consumers, helping them make informed dietary choices.
