Peck to Liter Converter

About this calculator

A peck is a traditional unit of dry volume historically used to measure produce like apples, potatoes, and grain, equal to a quarter of a bushel. In the US customary system, one peck equals exactly 8.80976754172 liters, and this calculator converts between the two units in either direction so you can translate old-fashioned farm and market measurements into the metric volumes used on modern packaging and recipes.

The peck survives mainly in agriculture, farmers' markets, and orchards — apples and pumpkins are still commonly sold “by the peck” in parts of the US — as well as in the well-known nursery rhyme “Peter Piper picked a peck of pickled peppers.” Home canners, farm-stand shoppers, and anyone following a recipe that specifies pecks or quarts of produce use this conversion to know how many liters or kilograms they're actually buying.
