Kiwi converter: whole kiwis, cups, grams

A recipe says '1 cup sliced kiwi' or '3 kiwis' but they range from small to large. A medium kiwi is about 90 g whole, so the count shifts as size changes. This converter moves between whole kiwis, sliced cups, grams, and ounces.

A small kiwi is 70 g and a large one 120 g, so 'three kiwis' can range from 210 g to 360 g of fruit. Pick the right size below to keep pavlova, fruit salad, and smoothies on target.

Kiwi 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 kiwi varieties compare.

VarietyBest for
Green (Hayward)Fresh eating and pavlova: tangy-sweet with fuzzy skin, the supermarket standard.
Gold (SunGold)Fresh eating: sweeter and lower in acid with smooth, hairless skin.
KiwiberrySnacking and garnish: grape-sized, smooth-skinned, eaten whole.

Which should I pick?

For everyday eating and pavlova, Green (Hayward) is the classic tangy-sweet kiwi, widely stocked and reliable. No Hayward? Gold (SunGold) is sweeter and lower in acid with smooth skin, good for fresh eating. Reach for Kiwiberry, the grape-sized smooth-skinned type, for snacking and garnishes when in season.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the size of a medium kiwi?
A medium kiwi weighs about 90 g, which works out to roughly 0.48 cups (0.5 US cups) of chopped flesh. Kiwis come in a range of sizes depending on the season, variety and where they were grown, so weight and cup figures shift accordingly. Use the size selector above to match what you actually have, then read the exact conversion for any amount.
How much does an average kiwi weigh?
An average kiwi is the same as a medium one: about 90 g. A small kiwi is lighter at around 70 g and a large one heavier at about 120 g, so the size you actually have changes the total for any recipe that counts kiwis by the piece rather than by weight.
How much does a large kiwi weigh?
A large kiwi weighs about 120 g, noticeably more than a medium, or average, one at 90 g or a small one at 70 g. Set the size selector to large to convert cups, grams and ounces for the bigger kiwis you actually have on the counter.
How many kiwis are in a pound?
A pound of kiwis is about 5 medium kiwis, since a pound is 454 g and a medium kiwi is 90 g of that. Small kiwis push the count up to roughly 6, and large ones bring it down to about 3.8. Weigh what you have and the converter above turns it into whole kiwis.
How many cups of kiwis are in 200 grams?
200 grams of prepared kiwi comes to about 1.07 cups. Size does not move that figure, since a cup measures prepared flesh: a large kiwi and a small one fill it to the same weight. Counting whole kiwis is a different question, and the converter above answers that one by size.
How many grams of kiwis are in a cup?
A cup of prepared kiwi comes to about 187 grams. Size does not move that figure, since a cup measures prepared flesh: a large kiwi and a small one fill it to the same weight. Counting whole kiwis is a different question, and the converter above answers that one by size.
How much juice is in a kiwi?
A kiwi yields approximately 65% of its weight in juice. That means a medium kiwi (90 g) yields about 59 ml, a small one (70 g) about 46 ml and a large one (120 g) about 78 ml. See the juice yield calculator if you are adding kiwi to your juice blend. Open the juice yield calculator
How do I convert grams to ounces for any ingredient?
Converting grams to ounces is pure weight maths that applies to any food, not just kiwis, so 200 grams is always 7.05 ounces. For other amounts, the weight converter at the link below handles grams, ounces, pounds, kilograms and stone in both directions. Grams to ounces converter
