Convert Lime Juice measurements
Lime Juice Measurement Converter
Use the tool below to convert lime juice from the measurements in your recipe to the measurements that you need.
Lime juice is a sharp, aromatic citrus liquid used in marinades, cocktails, dressings, and tropical baking. It activates baking soda, balances rich foods like avocado and coconut, and brings the floral edge that lemon juice does not. One metric cup (250 ml) holds 248 g (8.75 oz).
Lime juice is a touch more acidic than lemon juice, so getting the amount right matters in chemistry-driven recipes like quick breads and curds. Measuring by weight rather than volume keeps marinades, cocktail syrups, and ceviche consistent across batches.

Frequently Asked Questions
- Are lime juice and fresh lime juice the same thing?
- Yes. Fresh lime juice is another name for lime juice, so they are the same ingredient and measure identically. A cup of lime juice weighs 248 grams under either name, and every conversion on this page holds whichever name your recipe uses. Recipes swap the two freely, so you can follow either without changing quantities or weighing any differently.
- What is 0.25 cups of lime juice in tablespoons?
- 0.25 cups of lime juice is 4.17 tablespoons. This is the same for any ingredient, since cups and tablespoons are both volume units and do not depend on what you are measuring. One cup is about 16.67 tablespoons, so 0.5 cups is 8.33 tablespoons. Use the volume converter to switch between cups, tablespoons, teaspoons, and millilitres for any amount. Open the volume converter
- How many grams is 1 tablespoon of lime juice?
- 1 tablespoon of lime juice is 14.88 grams. Density carries that figure through any quantity, so 2 tablespoons is 29.76 grams and 1/2 tablespoon is 7.44 grams. Weighing beats measuring by volume here, since how firmly you fill the tablespoon shifts the result a little either way. The converter at the top of this page takes any amount.
- How much does a cup of lime juice weigh?
- 1 cup of lime juice in grams is 248 grams. The ratio is fixed, so 2 cups is 496 grams and half a cup is 124 grams. Weighing lime juice by the cup is the most common way to measure it for baking. The chart above this FAQ lists the cup amounts recipes call for, and the converter at the top handles anything between them.
- How do you measure lime juice in cups?
- 100 grams of lime juice is 0.4 cups. The conversion scales in a straight line, so 200 grams is 0.81 cups and 50 grams is 0.2 cups. Grams to cups helps when a recipe gives a weight but you measure with cups. The chart above this FAQ covers the other weights cooks measure out.
- How do you measure lime juice in tablespoons?
- 50 grams of lime juice is 3.36 tablespoons. The ratio is fixed, so 100 grams is 6.72 tablespoons and 25 grams is 1.68 tablespoons. Tablespoons are handy for smaller amounts when you would rather not get out the scales. The chart above this FAQ turns the other common weights into tablespoons too.
Related to Lime Juice
Lemon Juice
Lemon juice is milder and a touch sweeter than lime juice. Close in weight (255 g vs 248 g per cup), so swap 1:1 in dressings, marinades, and curd; expect a less floral result. See our Lemon Juice converter.
White Vinegar
White vinegar is sharper at around twice the acidity, so halve the volume when subbing for baking soda activation. Skip for flavour swaps: vinegar has no citrus aroma. See our White Vinegar converter.
Lime
Squeezing your own? The lime converter works out how many whole limes a recipe needs across small, medium, and large fruit, using the weight of each size. See our Lime converter.
Lemon
Limes not on hand? Lemon is the usual swap, and it is the bigger of the two fruits. The lemon converter counts whole fruit rather than juice volume, so you can buy and swap by the lemon instead of working back from millilitres. The substitute note above has the exact ratio. See our Lemon converter.
