How many grams are in an ounce?
Short answerOne ounce is 28.35 grams, and 28 grams is the usual kitchen round number.

If you mean a standard avoirdupois ounce, the conversion is 28.3495 grams. Most people round that to 28.35 grams, or just 28 grams if they are cooking and do not need lab-level precision.

The main thing to watch is the unit. An ounce by weight is not the same thing as a fluid ounce, which measures volume. That is where a lot of conversion mistakes start.

So the short version is simple: 1 ounce = 28.35 grams, and if you are just eyeballing a recipe, 28 grams is close enough.
