Grams to Ounces Converter

About Weight Conversion

Need to convert grams to ounces? If you cook, bake, or shop online, you'll use this constantly. Grams are the standard everywhere except the US, but American recipes and packaging still use ounces. When worlds collide, you need to convert.

A gram is part of the metric system—1/1000 of a kilogram. It's precise, easy to work with, and used worldwide. An ounce is 1/16 of a pound, and one ounce equals 28.35 grams (or 28.3495 if you want to be really precise). That 28.35 number is the key—multiply grams by 0.035274 to get ounces, or divide by 28.35. Either way works, but doing the math every time gets tedious.

Cooking is where this conversion shows up most. European recipes measure flour, sugar, butter—pretty much everything—in grams. But if you're cooking in the US, your kitchen scale might show ounces, or you might be trying to use measuring cups. A recipe calling for 250 grams of flour needs about 8.82 ounces. That's close to 9 ounces, but for baking, precision matters. Too much flour and your bread turns out dense. Too little and it's a mess.

Baking especially depends on accurate weights. Professional bakers weigh everything in grams because it's more precise than volume measurements. A cup of flour can weigh different amounts depending on how you scoop it, but 150 grams is always 150 grams. But if your scale only shows ounces, you need to convert. That 150 grams is about 5.29 ounces.

International recipes constantly mix units. You might find a French pastry recipe that lists everything in grams, but you want to understand it in ounces. Or an American recipe in ounces that you want to convert to grams for your metric scale. Being able to convert between them opens up a whole world of recipes you'd otherwise skip.

Shopping online gets interesting too. Products from different countries list weights in different units. That package of coffee might be 500 grams (about 17.64 ounces), but if you're used to thinking in ounces, does that sound like a lot or a little? Converting helps you compare prices and sizes across products from different regions.

Portion control and diet tracking often uses grams. Nutritional information might list protein in grams, but if you're tracking macros and thinking in ounces, you need to convert. A chicken breast might be listed as 200 grams, which is about 7 ounces. Understanding both units helps you track accurately.

Package weights for shipping matter too. International shipping often has weight limits in grams or kilograms, but US postal rates are usually in ounces or pounds. A package that's 500 grams might cost more to ship than one that's 17 ounces (even though they're the same weight) depending on which bracket it falls into. Converting helps you calculate shipping costs accurately.

Jewelry and precious metals use grams and ounces too. Gold and silver are often priced per gram or per ounce. Understanding the conversion helps when comparing prices. An ounce of gold is 31.1 grams (troy ounces are slightly different from regular ounces, but that's a whole other thing). Converting helps you understand what you're actually buying.

Coffee and tea measurements vary by region too. Specialty coffee might be sold in grams, but you're used to thinking in ounces. A 12-ounce bag of coffee is about 340 grams. Converting helps you compare prices and know what you're getting when shopping internationally.

Even something as simple as postal stamps or letters involves this. International mail has weight limits, often in grams. A letter weighing more than 20 grams (about 0.7 ounces) might need extra postage depending on where it's going. Converting helps you figure out postage before you get to the post office.
