Amol

Amol is a traditional Indian measure of weight, primarily used for measuring grains, spices, and other small goods. It is a unit that varies regionally but is generally equivalent to approximately 10 grams. Historically, Amol helped traders and farmers quantify their produce accurately before standardization of weights and measures. Today, it remains a culturally recognized unit in some parts of India, though official measurements are usually in grams or kilograms. Understanding Amol provides insight into traditional trading practices and the importance of local measurement systems in historical commerce.
