Grams to Oz chart

GramsOunces (weight)
10 g 0.35 oz
25 g 0.88 oz
28.35 g 1 oz
50 g 1.76 oz
100 g 3.53 oz
113 g 3.99 oz

113 g and 227 g are the metric faces of the US ¼ lb and ½ lb; 454 g is the full pound.

How this is calculated

oz = g ÷ 28.349523125 (exact)

The metric-recipe-in-a-US-kitchen direction: 250 g of flour is 8.82 oz, a 100 g chocolate bar is 3.53 oz, 30 g of protein is 1.06 oz. Divide by 28.3495 and the answer is exact; the chart covers the package sizes you actually meet.

Same exact definition as the reverse page (the ounce is 28.349523125 g by definition), applied as a division. For cooking, weighing in grams and converting only for display is the accuracy-preserving order.

Grams to ounces is the direction of an imperial cook using a metric recipe, and of anyone reading European food labels or postal weights. The useful anchor is that 100 g is 3.53 oz, and a standard 250 g block of butter is 8.8 oz — which is why American butter comes in 4 oz sticks that do not map cleanly onto metric quantities.

For postage and shipping, the ounce boundaries are hard thresholds rather than approximations, so rounding down to stay inside a bracket is a false economy: carriers weigh in their own unit and round up. Convert exactly and assume the parcel weighs slightly more than the contents.

Frequently asked questions

How many oz is 100 g?

3.53 oz. Nutrition panels love 100 g servings, which is why so many US labels carry the awkward 3.5 oz alongside.

What is 500 g in ounces and pounds?

17.64 oz, which is 1 lb 1.6 oz. Anything over 16 oz reads more naturally as pounds-and-ounces — divide by 16 for the split.

Why do my scales show 28 g for 1 oz?

Display rounding: the true value is 28.3495 g. Cheap scales rounding to whole grams lose a third of a gram per ounce — irrelevant for pasta, real for espresso.

Grams to fluid ounces — can I?

Only via density. For water, 100 g ≈ 3.38 fl oz (100 ml); for oil, honey, or flour the same grams occupy different volumes. Use the ML pages for liquids measured by volume.
