About Quarts
A quart (qt) is a US customary volume unit equal to 2 pints or 4 cups - approximately 946.353 mL (just under one liter). Motor oil, paint, and large containers of juice or milk are commonly sold by the quart in the United States. The term 'quart' derives from the Latin 'quartus' (fourth), as it is one quarter of a gallon. The US liquid quart (946 mL) differs from the UK imperial quart (1136 mL). Engine coolant, transmission fluid, and many automotive products are measured and sold in quart containers in the US. Four quarts equal one US gallon.
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.
