How the Grams To Ounces works

Grams to ounces: which ounce

This page converts the avoirdupois ounce, the one used for food, post and body weight: 28.3495 g, sixteen to the pound. The troy ounce used for precious metals is heavier at 31.1035 g, and the fluid ounce is a volume, not a mass — a fluid ounce of water weighs about 1.04 avoirdupois ounces. If a recipe says "8 oz" of flour it means weight; if it says "8 fl oz" of milk it means volume, and the two are not interchangeable.

Worked example: a 250 g block of butter

250 × 0.035274 = 8.82 oz. American recipes use sticks of butter, which are 4 oz or 113 g, so a 250 g block is a little over two sticks. British butter comes in 250 g blocks and old British recipes in 8 oz quantities (227 g); the 23 g difference rarely matters in baking but does in pastry.

Worked example: a 100 g letter

100 g is 3.53 oz. Postal services that price by weight in ounces — the USPS steps at 1, 2, 3 oz and so on — put a 100 g item in the 4 oz band. Going the other way, the Royal Mail's 100 g large-letter band is 3.5 oz, and a US "1 oz" first-class letter is 28.3 g, which is about five sheets of 80 gsm A4 in an envelope.

Converting recipes

For baking, treat 25 g as roughly an ounce (it is 0.88 oz) only if you convert every ingredient the same way, so the ratios hold. For anything that needs the real figures — jam setting points, bread hydration — use the exact conversion. 100 g is 3.5 oz, 200 g is 7 oz, 450 g is very nearly a pound (15.9 oz) and 500 g is 1 lb 1.6 oz. Half a kilo is not a pound; it is ten percent more.

Nutrition labels

European labels give figures per 100 g; American ones per serving in ounces or grams. A 100 g serving is 3.53 oz. A "1 oz" serving of cheese or nuts is 28 g — the number 28 on American packaging is this conversion rounded. A 30 g serving on a UK cereal box is 1.06 oz.

Quick estimates

Divide by 28 — or by 30 and add seven percent. 200 g ÷ 30 is 6.67, plus 0.47, gives 7.1 oz; the exact figure is 7.05. For anything under 100 g, "divide by 28" and round is as accurate as kitchen scales.

Worked example: 8 oz of flour

8 × 28.3495 = 226.8 g. Most people round to 225 g, and the 1.8 g difference is well under what kitchen scales resolve. A cup of American all-purpose flour is about 4.25 oz, which is 120 g, so an 8 oz weight of flour is not two cups — it is nearer 1⅞. The confusion between ounces by weight and cups by volume is the single biggest cause of recipe conversion failures.

Worked example: a 6 oz steak

6 × 28.3495 = 170.1 g. Restaurant menus in the US list steaks by ounce — 6, 8, 10, 12, 16 — and in metric countries by the 50 g step — 150, 200, 250, 300, 450. The 8 oz steak is 227 g, so a "250 g" steak is a shade bigger than an 8 oz one, and a 16 oz steak is 454 g, a pound.
