Avocado converter: whole avocados, cups, grams

A recipe says '1 cup diced avocado' but you bought them whole by the fruit. A medium avocado runs about 200 g whole, so the count moves as size changes. This converter shifts between whole avocados, cups of diced flesh, grams, and ounces.

A small avocado is barely over half the weight of a large one, so 'two avocados' in a guacamole recipe can swing the yield a lot. Pick the right size below to keep dips and toast on target.

Avocado varieties and best uses

The conversions above are the same whatever variety you use; the difference is what each is good for. Here is how the common avocado varieties compare.

VarietyBest for
HassGuacamole and toast: high oil, creamy, nutty; the year-round default.
ShepardSalads and slicing: firm flesh that holds its shape and browns slowly once cut.
FuerteSlicing and salads: smooth thin skin, lighter buttery flavour.
BaconEarly-season mashing: mild and light; softer flesh, less rich.
ReedGuacamole in volume: large and round with rich, dense flesh.
PinkertonDips: high flesh-to-seed ratio and easy to peel.

Which should I pick?

For guacamole and toast, Hass is the standard: high oil, creamy, stocked year-round. No Hass? Reed or Pinkerton are similarly rich. For slices that hold their shape in salads, Shepard or Fuerte stay firm and turn brown more slowly. Buy them firm and ripen on the counter; a Hass is ready once the skin darkens and yields to gentle pressure.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the size of a medium avocado?
A medium avocado weighs about 200 g, which works out to roughly 1.28 cups (1.33 US cups) of chopped flesh.

How much does a medium avocado weigh?
A medium avocado weighs about 200 g, with a small one around 150 g and a large one near 280 g. That range changes the weight of any recipe that counts avocados by the piece, so set the size selector to match what you actually have before trusting a cup or gram figure.
How much does an average avocado weigh?
An average avocado is the same as a medium one: about 200 g. A small avocado is lighter at around 150 g and a large one heavier at about 280 g, so the size you actually have changes the total for any recipe that counts avocados by the piece rather than by weight.
How much does a large avocado weigh?
A large avocado weighs about 280 g, noticeably more than a medium, or average, one at 200 g or a small one at 150 g. Set the size selector to large to convert cups, grams and ounces for the bigger avocados you actually have on the counter.
