Frequently Asked Questions
Why do recipes use different weight units?
Different countries use different measurement systems. The United States commonly uses imperial units (ounces, pounds), while most other countries use metric units (grams, kilograms).
Which is more accurate: grams or ounces?
Grams are generally considered more precise for small measurements because they are a smaller unit. This is why scientific and pharmaceutical measurements typically use metric units.
