What is a “carat”? We already know it’s a measure of weight, not size, but it’s also a word with a fascinating history. Carat is derived from carob, the bean that’s often used as a chocolate substitute. Carob trees grow in the Mediterranean region, and in ancient times a diamond of one carat, or carob, was equal in weight to a single bean, or seed, of the carob tree. In the Far East, rice was used— four grains equalled one carob bean. Eventually the carat was standardized at 200 milligrams (1/5 of a gram), and the grain was standardized at 50 milligrams.
