Grams to ounces converter: the math behind it
Type a weight in grams and the grams to ounces converter shows the ounces next to it, along with pounds, kilograms and the rest of the list. The page opens on 100 g, which is 3.527 oz. A sum such as 125+75 adds two ingredients first and returns 7.055 oz for the total.
An avoirdupois ounce is one sixteenth of a pound of 0.45359237 kg, so exactly 28.349523125 g, as NIST lists it. To go from grams to oz, divide by that figure, or multiply by about 0.035274. The grams to ounces converter keeps the full factor, so 454 g comes to 16.014 oz, a hair over a pound.
For a quick grams to oz estimate, count 3.5 oz for every 100 g: 300 g is then about 10.5 oz, against 10.582 oz exactly, close enough for most recipes since it runs under by less than one percent.

Metric recipes, labels and jewelry in grams
British, European and Australian recipes weigh their ingredients in grams. If your kitchen scale only shows ounces, the grams to ounces converter bridges the gap: 250 g of butter, the usual European block, is 8.818 oz, and 125 g of sugar is 4.409 oz. A recipe calling for 1 kg of flour needs 35.274 oz, a little over 2 lb.
Nutrition labels count in grams too. US panels give the serving size in grams after the household measure, and a 30 g serving of cereal is 1.058 oz, and the 100 g that European labels use as their reference is the 3.527 oz the page opens on. Past a kilogram, switch to the kg to lbs converter.
Imported packs go through the grams to ounces converter the same way. A 500 g bag of pasta is 17.637 oz; pick Pound + Ounce as the target to read it as 1 lb 1.6 oz. A 7 g sachet of dried yeast, the usual European size, is 0.247 oz, about the 1/4 oz packet sold in the US.
Jewelers weigh in grams but price gold and silver by the troy ounce, a heavier unit listed separately. A 10 g gold bar is 0.3215 troy oz, not the 0.353 oz a kitchen ounce would give. To start from ounces instead, use the ounces to grams converter.
