A
peck is an
imperial and
United States customary unit of
dry volume, equivalent to 2
gallons or 8 dry
quarts or 16 dry
pints (9.09 (UK) or 8.81 (US)
liters). Two pecks make a
kenning (obsolete), and four pecks make a
bushel. Although the peck is no longer widely used, some
produce, such as
apples, is still often sold by the peck. Despite being referenced in a common
tongue twister, pickled peppers are so rarely sold by the peck that any association between pickled peppers and the peck unit of measurement is considered humorous in nature.
