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.

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.
