Deciliters (dL) to US cups (cup) Conversion
Deciliters
The decilitre is a unit of volume equal to one tenth of a litre (100 mL), used in Scandinavian countries and several European nations for cooking measurements and nutritional labelling. Nutritional values on food labels are sometimes expressed per 100 mL, which is equivalent to per decilitre. In clinical laboratory medicine, some analyte concentrations are expressed in decilitres (e.g., grams per decilitre for haemoglobin).
US cups
The cup is a unit of volume used primarily in cooking and baking, equal to exactly 236.5882365 mL in the US customary system. The metric cup (250 mL) is used in Australia, Canada, and South Africa. In culinary education, cup measurements form the practical basis of recipe standardisation, though the variation between US, metric, and UK cups is a common source of international recipe confusion.
