About these units
Hectogram (hg)
A hectogram equals 100 grams and is common in food markets in Italy, Greece, and parts of Latin America. Consumers often purchase cheese, cold cuts, or dry goods in hectograms because it provides a comfortable scale—neither too large nor too small. In scientific contexts, hectograms sometimes appear in hydrology, meteorology, or soil science, where medium quantities are more intuitively expressed using this unit. Though overshadowed globally by the kilogram, the hectogram survives where cultural habits align with metric logic.
Shekel (Biblical Hebrew) (shekel)
The shekel, approximately 11.3 grams, is the foundational Hebrew weight unit, originally used for silver-based transactions long before it became a monetary term. In Biblical contexts, shekels represent wages, prices, fines, and sacrificial offerings. The shekel's mass-based origins mean that early shekel "coins" were actually weighed pieces of silver rather than minted currency. The modern Israeli currency's name (the New Israeli Shekel) preserves the ancient term, linking present-day society to its deep historical roots.
