A gram is a unit of measurement for mass that is used in the International System of Units.
It is commonly used in most countries on food labels and packages, although larger and smaller measurements make use of the SI systems prefix system. Even in the United States where the SI system is not officially adopted it is seen on many labels along with ounces and pounds which are also units of mass. However, the large majority of scientific work in the U.S. strictly uses the SI system as the only measurement in order for research to be shared internationally.
