Metric vs. Imperial Weight
Grams are the fundamental unit of mass in the metric system, offering high resolution for small measurements. Ounces are an imperial unit commonly used in the United States and UK for postal billing, food labeling, and daily retail. Understanding the conversion is essential for scaling international recipes.
