    D'oh! (I mean about the ending of изюм. I forgot that it's masculine, and a singular "mass" noun, even though "raisins" is plural in English.)

    So, in short, you would recommend граммов in speech, too, and not only in writing?

    A lot of people say грамм... i'd say it's 50/50, here where i live i always hear грамм...

    the following is the quote from Популярный словарь русского языка. Толково-энциклопедический. © «Русский язык-Медиа», 2003, Гуськова А.П., Сотин Б.В. 5 тыс. статей.

    Форма родительного падежа множественного числа граммов используется преимущественно в письменной речи, а форма грамм - в устной (после числительных).
    Возьмем 5 граммов вещества. Выпить 100 грамм водки.

    people use both variants for sure, it depends much on the context (what is to be measured, substance in question, etc....)
