Five Carat

I know they just look like normal seeds but there is far more to it…

The word "karat" or "carat" come from the Greek kerátion (κεράτιον) meaning carob seed and was a unit of weight in ancient Asian bazaars. The carob seed was used as balance scales to measure the weight of gold. In past centuries, different countries each had their own carat unit, all roughly equivalent to the mass of a carob seed. Today the carat is a unit of mass used for measuring gems and pearls. Currently a carat is defined as exactly 200 mg. This definition, known as the metric carat, was adopted in 1907 at the Fourth General Conference on Weights and Measures, and soon afterwards in many countries around the world. It is universally used today.

… and who jumped the highest to grab the carob sweet pods during playtime and with a proud smile of conquer chew them with pleasure but little she knew about the ancient history behind the seeds.
Thanks Zafer to bring back some childhood memories and explain this fascinating story.
