An article on the conversion of 100 grams to ounces and other grams to ounce conversions seems like an odd topic, but with the rapidly increasing use of grams in cooking and nutrition measurements it is important to know! We will add a bit of history on the gram and the ounce for context and provide a handy grams to ounces conversion chart.

100 grams to Ounces

  • 100 grams is 3.5 ounces
  • 200 grams is 7.1 ounces

These are two of the most commonly found ingredient amounts in recipes that come from those nations that use the metric system and thus publish recipes in grams. 

That is to say, every nation except the USA, Liberia, and Myanmar. Not sure we have seen many Liberian recipes yet. Look further down for a full list of gram to ounce conversions commonly seen in recipes or international nutrition labels.

What Is An Ounce?

The term ounce comes from the Roman term “uncia”. An uncia was 1/12 of a Roman copper bar that was used as a tool to measure the length of an inch and the weight of an ounce. Modern ounce weight and volume measurements, however, come from Britain. A fluid ounce is 1/16th of a pint. A dry ounce weighs 1/16 of a pound or 28.346 grams.

For the sake of this article we’ll be using standard ounces. Looking for info on the troy ounce? Look here!

What Is A Gram?

The gram was introduced in France following the French Revolution. The word gramme was adopted by the French in a 1795 decree revising the metric system and defining the gram as the weight of one cubic centimeter of water. The French went all in on the metric system then the rest of the world followed over the next 200 years.

Quick Conversion Guide

These conversions are important because recipes developed outside the United States call for grams vs ounces and in baking precise ingredient quantities can be important. Some commonly found recipe quantities converted from grams to ounces.

To recap, 100 grams is 3.5 ounces!

Trivia Answer

Saffron which costs between $3 – $14 per gram ($85-$400 per ounce) depending on the quality. When you consider that Gold is currently around $63 per gram that is one expensive ingredient. Why is it so darn expensive? Well a single gram of saffron requires 150 flowers and they are all hand picked!
