Plato scale

Okay kiddo, have you ever heard of Plato Scale? No? Well, it's like a way to measure how much sugar or dissolved solids are in a liquid like juice, soda, or even beer!

It's like when you add sugar to your tea or lemonade and you use a spoon to measure how many spoonfuls you need to make it sweet enough. But with Plato Scale, it's a more accurate way to know how much sugar is in the drink so that you can have the right balance of sweet and sour.

So, imagine you have a glass of juice. By using Plato Scale, you can know exactly how many grams of sugar are dissolved in that juice. This is measured in degrees Plato (°P). It's like saying how many pieces of sugar you can fit into the juice.

For example, let's say you have a glass of iced tea that has 10 degrees Plato. That means there are 10 grams of sugar dissolved in every 100 grams of the tea. So if you had 200 grams of the tea, you would have 20 grams of sugar.

So Plato Scale helps drinks makers to know exactly how much sugar they need to add to make their drinks taste good. It's a great tool that helps us enjoy our favorite drinks!
