This chart will help you to convert from the old English weight system – used in the US – to the metric weight system used in most countries. Multiply ounces by 28.35 to get an approximation of grams, albeit in this chart we rounded up or down to keep it practical.

In the US, recipe ingredients are often measured by volume. The rest of the world favors measuring by weight. Since food items vary in density, you can’t use a simple arithmetic formula to translate from one to the other. As for weight, multiply ounces by 28.35 to get an approximation of grams or go to the previous Weights chart.
