Grams to ounces is a kitchen and postal conversion. Bakers following European or Australian recipes, coffee brewers weighing beans, and anyone mailing a letter in the US meets it, because US postage and many American food labels still price by the ounce.
Postal and courier rates make this conversion common. US first-class letters are priced per ounce, so a 60 g envelope weighs 2.12 oz and needs postage for 3 oz. International parcels may be priced in grams or kilograms, so small online sellers often keep a scale that reads in both.
Coffee brewing guides use grams for accuracy. A standard ratio of 60 g of coffee per liter of water converts to about 2.12 oz per liter, or 0.5 oz for a single 250 ml mug. Precious metals use a different ounce entirely: 1 troy ounce is 31.1 g, so a 10 g gold bar is 0.32 troy ounces.
Spices and specialty foods often come in small gram sizes. A 50 g jar of saffron is 1.76 oz.
Letter scales in the UK show both, and 100 g is the limit for a standard large letter in many postal systems.
The ounce number should always be much smaller than the gram number, about one twenty-eighth of it. 500 g should come out a little under 18 oz (17.64 exactly), and 1,000 g about 35 oz. If your answer is bigger than the gram figure, the direction is wrong. Many digital kitchen scales switch between g and oz with one button, which is the easiest way to check a recipe conversion.

250 g of butter is 8.82 oz, a little more than two US sticks (8 oz).
20 g of coffee beans is 0.71 oz.
The 1 oz first-class limit is 28.35 g, so a 30 g letter needs extra postage.
An ounce measures weight and a fluid ounce measures volume. 100 g of flour is 3.5 oz by weight but almost a cup by volume.
Troy ounces (31.1 g) are only for precious metals. Using them on food understates the ounce figure by about 9%.
Dividing by 30 makes 500 g look like 16.7 oz, but it is 17.6 oz.
A gram is one thousandth of a kilogram.
Origin. The gram was originally defined in 1795 as the mass of one cubic centimeter of water. The word comes from the late Latin gramma, a small weight.
Used today. Grams are used for food, nutrition labels, medicine doses, jewelry and letter postage in most of the world.
An avoirdupois ounce is 1/16 of a pound, exactly 28.349523125 g.
Origin. From the Latin uncia, one twelfth, the same root as inch.
Used today. Ounces measure food packaging, deli portions and US postage. Gold and silver use the heavier troy ounce of 31.1035 g.
28.35 g (exactly 28.349523125 g).
3.527 oz.
Gold is priced per troy ounce of 31.1035 g, so 100 g of gold is 3.215 troy ounces.
A gram is about 28 times smaller than an ounce, so scales can measure leaveners and salt accurately without fractions.
