Converting 100 Grams to Ounces
So, you’re in the kitchen, mid-recipe, and it calls for 100 grams of something—flour, butter, chocolate chips… maybe cheese? But your kitchen scale is in ounces, or you’re just more comfortable with the good ol’ imperial system.
You pause and ask:
“Wait—how much is 100 grams in ounces?”
Let’s solve that once and for all. No stress, no confusion—just the simple answer and a few handy tips for next time.

But What Even Is an Ounce?
Let’s clear it up quickly:
- Grams are part of the metric system, used in most countries around the world.
- Ounces are part of the imperial system, mostly used in the United States.
Both measure weight, and they can be converted easily with a simple formula.
