If you’re looking at an ounce and wondering how to convert it into a gram, or vice versa, do not worry. An ounce is a standard measurement in US recipe books, a measurement for the weight of dry ingredients. The packages for each ingredient will show you an abbreviation of an ounce displayed as ‘oz.’.
