About Grams
The gram (g) is the basic metric unit of mass, equal to one thousandth of a kilogram. It is universally used in cooking, nutrition, postal services, and scientific measurement. Almost all food packaging worldwide shows nutritional information per 100 g. A US nickel coin weighs exactly 5 g, a teaspoon of sugar about 4 g, and a standard paperclip approximately 1 g. In chemistry, the gram is central to molar mass: one mole of carbon-12 atoms weighs exactly 12 g. Postal rates are typically scaled per gram or per 100 g.
About Tolas
A tola is a traditional South Asian unit of mass equal to the weight of a silver rupee coin - approximately 11.664 grams. It was the standard unit for weighing gold and silver across India, Pakistan, Nepal, and Bangladesh for centuries, and remains actively used in gold jewellery markets throughout the subcontinent. Gold is routinely priced and bought in tolas at jewellers' shops (sarrafas) in India and Pakistan. A 10-tola gold bar (116.64 g) is the most popular retail gold bar size in South Asia and the Middle East.
