it stands for a pound of food
ex) 1lb of meat - one pound of meat
It originates from libra pondo in Latin. The librapart meant both weight or balance scales. The Latin usage was shortened to libra, which naturally was abbreviated 'lb'. We adopted the pound part from pondo, yet kept the abbreviation for libra.
A 1lb is related to the weight measurement needed for your ingredients in cooking. Pounds and ounces is the weighing scale. It is similar to the metric weighing scale of kilograms and grams. 16 oz =1lb = 450g approx.
