Many things are available by the hectogram. A hectogram is about 100 grams which is about 3.527 ounces. A hundred grams is a standard common measurements of weight used in commerce where the metric system is in use.

In the US, packaged goods are commonly sold by the pound or 16 ounces (ie. a pound of peas, beans, cookies, fruit) or a multiple of pounds.

Where the metric system is in use, packages of good are commonly sold by the hectogram. Although that word is generally not used, goods are available in 100 gram amounts or multiples or submultiples of 100 grams. You can get 100 gram package of coffee beans or other kinds of beans or rice.
