Grams (g)

A gram (g) is a unit of mass/weight in the metric system, equal to one-thousandth of a kilogram. Grams provide precise measurements for ingredients, especially in baking where small differences matter. The name comes from the French "gramme," derived from the Greek "gramma" meaning a small weight. Grams are standard worldwide for recipes calling for accuracy (e.g., European/Australian recipes, professional baking).

Grams are used to measure both dry ingredients (flour, sugar, cocoa) and some fats (butter), helping avoid errors from packing or scooping variations in volume measures like cups.

  • 1 gram (g) = 0.001 kilograms (kg)
  • 1 gram (g) ≈ 0.035274 ounces (oz)
  • 1 gram (g) = 1000 milligrams (mg)
  • Common baking reference: 100 g ≈ a small handful of flour or sugar
