1 ounce (mass) is 1/16 pounds, which is 28.35 grams.

1 fluid ounce (US customary) is 1/16 US pints 29.57 mL.

1 fluid ounce (Imperial) is 1/20 UK pints, which is 28.41 mL.

On US nutrition labels, the FDA ounce is defined as exactly 28 g and the FDA fluid ounce is exactly 30 mL.

There are many other definitions of the ounce, but these are the most common cooking related definitions.

"Ounce" is a tricky one to define, because there are several different kinds of ounces.

The avoirdupois ounce is the one most commonly used for weighing most things. It is the weight of something that has a mass of about 28.35 grams. There are 16 ounces in a pound.

The troy ounce is the unit of measure for weighing precious metals. A troy ounce is the weight of exactly 31.1034768 grams. There are 12 troy ounces in a troy pound.

A fluid ounce is a unit of volume. One U.S. fluid ounce is 29.5735295625 ml, and there are 128 U.S. fluid ounces in a U.S. gallon. However, one Imperial fluid ounce is 28.4130625 ml, and there are 160 Imperial fluid ounces in an Imperial gallon.

Confused? Be glad the world is going metric!
