About Ounces to Grams Conversion
The ounce (oz) is an imperial unit of weight commonly used in the United States for food portions, cooking recipes, and postal weights. The gram (g) is a metric unit used in most other countries and in all scientific contexts. One ounce equals approximately 28.3495 grams. Note: this refers to the avoirdupois ounce, not the troy ounce used for precious metals.
This conversion is essential for following international recipes (European recipes use grams), understanding nutrition labels when comparing US and imported products, weighing postal packages for international shipping, and portioning food for diet tracking. Most kitchen scales can display both units, but knowing the math helps when a scale isn't handy.
