About kilograms
The kilogram (kg) is the base unit of mass in the International System of Units (SI). Established in 1795 as the mass of one liter of water at the freezing point, it has been the world's standard for over two centuries. Until 2019, it was defined by a physical platinum-iridium cylinder locked in a vault in Paris (Le Grand K). Today, it is defined by the Planck constant, a fundamental constant of quantum physics, ensuring it remains stable and precise forever. kilograms are commonly used in Body weight (worldwide except US), Gym equipment (plates/dumbbells), International shipping, and Scientific mass measurements, Food packaging (globally).

About ounces
The ounce derives from the Roman 'uncia', meaning 'one twelfth', originally referring to 1/12th of a Roman pound. However, in the modern avoirdupois system used in the US and UK, an ounce is 1/16th of a pound. This unit is critical for precision in non-metric cooking and for measuring precious metals (though gold uses the 'troy ounce', which is slightly heavier). ounces are commonly used in Steak and meat portioning, Postal letter weights, Precious metals (Troy oz), and Liquid volume (fluid oz - different unit), Spices and seasonings.
