Ounces to grams, mostly for cooking: a US recipe read against a metric kitchen scale, coffee dosing, or baking where volume measures are too imprecise to trust. Weighing beats scooping for anything where the ratio matters, so this conversion tends to improve the result as well as translating it.
Frequently asked questions
How many grams is 8 ounces?
226.8 grams. Handy ones: 1 oz = 28.35 g, 4 oz = 113.4 g, 16 oz (1 lb) = 453.59 g.
Is a fluid ounce the same as an ounce?
No, and confusing them ruins recipes. An ounce is weight; a fluid ounce is volume. They coincide only for water, by coincidence of definition — 8 fl oz of water weighs about 8 oz, but 8 fl oz of flour weighs roughly 4.4 oz and 8 fl oz of honey around 12 oz. If your recipe lists a liquid, use the volume converter instead.
