About Pecks
A peck (pk) is a dry volume unit in the US customary system equal to 2 dry gallons or 8 dry quarts - approximately 8.810 liters. It was historically used to measure grain, produce, and bulk goods at market - a 'peck of potatoes' or 'peck of apples' was a standard quantity. The nursery rhyme 'Peter Piper picked a peck of pickled peppers' has made the peck culturally familiar even though it is rarely used in modern commerce. Four pecks equal one US bushel. In agriculture, pecks still appear in older US crop yield tables, traditional market records, and historical American cookbooks.
About Fluid Ounces
A fluid ounce (fl oz) is a US customary volume unit equal to 1/8 of a cup or 1/128 of a gallon - approximately 29.574 mL. Despite sharing a name with the weight unit 'ounce', fluid ounces measure volume, not mass. In the US, beverages are universally labeled in fluid ounces: a standard can of soda is 12 fl oz, a standard wine pour is 5 fl oz, and a shot of spirits is 1.5 fl oz. Note that the UK imperial fluid ounce (28.413 mL) differs slightly from the US fluid ounce (29.574 mL) - a common source of confusion in international recipes and product comparisons.
