Two different ounces, easy to mix up
The ounce this converter uses is the avoirdupois ounce, the everyday weight unit for food, mail and packaging, equal to 28.349523125 g exactly. Gold, silver and other precious metals are weighed in a separate troy ounce instead, about 31.1 g, an older unit that survives specifically in the metals trade.
Grams are the standard weight unit for cooking, medicine and packaging almost everywhere outside the US, which is why converting between the two comes up so often on food labels and recipes.

A quick way to estimate without a calculator
- Divide grams by 28 for a fast estimate. For 250 g: 250 divided by 28 is about 8.93, close to the exact 8.82 ounces.
- The shortcut runs a little high since the real factor is 28.35, fine for judging a recipe amount but not for a kitchen scale calibration.
- For 200 g, the same shortcut gives about 7.14, close to the exact 7.05 ounces.
- For a 1 kg (1000 g) bag, the shortcut gives about 35.7, close to the exact 35.27 ounces.
