Measurement Options
Choose from the following measurements to convert to
Related to Lemon Juice
Lime Juice
Lime juice is sharper and more floral than lemon juice but close in weight (248 g vs 255 g per cup). Swap 1:1 in dressings, marinades, and cocktails; expect a less rounded flavour in lemon curd or sweet bakes. See our Lime Juice converter.
White Vinegar
Vinegar is roughly twice as acidic as lemon juice, so halve the volume when subbing for baking soda activation. Skip for flavour swaps: vinegar has no citrus aroma. See our White Vinegar converter.
Buttermilk
Buttermilk is thicker and dairy-based, but both activate baking soda in a similar way. Stir 1 tablespoon of lemon juice into 1 cup of milk and let it sit for a few minutes to make a quick buttermilk substitute. See our Buttermilk converter.
