Likewise, it’s enough for about 2-3 regular-sized bowls. You can also roll two half-gram joints, which will be skinnier and ideal for those solo smoke sessions.
It’s just enough for a nice, healthy joint - usually about the size of one average nug. One GramĪ gram is the smallest amount of cannabis flower someone can purchase at one time. However, most countries (including in the United States) cap the amount a consumer can purchase at a time at one ounce of weed, so let’s focus on the different amounts you can purchase for personal use, leaving the pounds and quarter pounds for wholesalers and distributors. Between the varying slang used to order depending on where you are in the world and terms like “five-gram eighths” on menus, you might find yourself at a loss for words when walking into a dispensary for the first time.Ī strange thing about the process of weighing cannabis is that it begins with the metric system - measuring by the gram - and then switches to the avoirdupois system (ounces and pounds). Metric or imperial kitchen scale?Ĭhoosing a scale that will give you both metric and imperial measurements is going to make your baking easier allowing you to see at a glance correct accuracy compared with the recipe.Whether you’re a budding cannabis enthusiast or you just applied for your first medical marijuana card, the concept of cannabis amounts, weights, and prices can be confusing. Your preference will come down to what kind of baking you intend to be doing. Kitchen scales come in a variety of types from old fashioned simple scales with a dial to much more sensitive digital scales that will allow you to measure even tiny weights (such as yeast or salt), or much larger weights for batch baking. Getting an accurate measurement using a kitchen scale Having said that, many people cook quite happily using a cup measuring system as this is what they are comfortable using.įor new, untested recipes the precision you get from weighing your ingredients on a scale rather than using a cup can be more reassuring. Most people who bake agree that volume can be less reliable than weight so if you want completely consistent results you might want to consider using a weight based system, either US imperial (lbs and oz) or metric (kilograms and grams). See our page Cups to grams: helpful baking measurements and conversions tables (US to UK) for more information. In US recipes you may see the measurement of ‘cups’ which is not a weight based system, but rather measures volume. It doesn’t matter too much whether you decide to use American pounds and ounces or the metric system it is more important that you use the system you are familiar with and stick to the same method of weighing within the recipe. Most recipes for baking an average sized cake will not go over 1 lb - with the exception of some fruit cakes where it can be common to see ‘a pound of dried fruit.’ Is it better to use grams or ounces when baking? To convert oz into grams very simply see our handy imperial to metric conversion table below: Ouncesġ pound (lb) is the same as 16 oz and in grams this translates to 454 grams. Since when baking precise measurements of ingredients is important, it is useful to have fairly exact translations of US imperial to metric or ounces to grams, and when baking in larger quantities, pounds to kilograms. Ounces to grams conversion table for baking measurements
See our page Cups to grams: helpful baking measurements and conversions tables (US to UK) for a further discussion on this. When comparing imperial measurements with metric (below), since they are dry ingredients, the imperial measurement is the same wherever the recipe came from. For measuring dry ingredients, you can treat the two systems the same, but differences occur when it comes to fluid oz because these are not the same between British and American imperial systems. It can be useful to remember that the two imperial measuring systems are not quite identical. The British imperial system and differences with US Customary System The name for the type of Imperial system America uses is called the US Customary System, and is based on the ‘avoirdupois pound’. What is the imperial system?Īmerica is one of only three countries in the world which use an imperial measuring system - the other two being Liberia and Myanmar. If you don’t want to do the maths, we’ve saved you the job with our handy ounces to grams conversion table (below). This also works the other way around by dividing to convert back to ounces (113 grams / 28.35 = 4 oz). So to find a measurement in grams from ounces you can simply multiply by 28.35, e.g. It can be very useful to know how many grams there are in an ounce (oz) if you wish to translate an American recipe into UK or other metric standards. But first how do we calculate oz to grams conversions. We prepared an easy conversion table for translating US imperial weights (lbs and oz) into European metric kilograms and grams.
