Frequently Asked Questions
- How many grams is one medium lemon?
- One medium lemon is about 115 grams, a small one about 85 grams and a large one about 145 grams. Lemons vary in size, which is the main reason a recipe that counts lemons can still vary in weight. Set the size selector to match what you have, then read the exact figure for any count above. Open the lemon converter
- How many grams is 2 lemons?
- 2 lemons are about 230 grams. The ratio is fixed, so one medium lemon is 115 grams and the figure scales in a straight line as you multiply or divide. Scaling a recipe up or down keeps the same proportion, so work from whichever amount your recipe lists. Use the converter above for any other quantity of lemon.
- How many grams is 3 lemons?
- 3 lemons are about 345 grams. The ratio is fixed, so one medium lemon is 115 grams and the figure scales in a straight line as you multiply or divide. Scaling a recipe up or down keeps the same proportion, so work from whichever amount your recipe lists. Use the converter above for any other quantity of lemon.
- How many kilograms is one lemon?
- One medium lemon is 115 g, so a kilogram is not a useful unit for a single fruit. Ten of them come to about 1.15 kg, and a dozen about 1.38 kg. If a recipe or a delivery order lists lemons in kilograms, convert the count to grams above and shift the decimal point three places. Open the lemon converter
Related to Lemon
Lime
Lime is sharper and more floral than lemon. Persian limes (67 g) are usually smaller than a medium lemon (115 g), so two limes are usually what you need to match one lemon for juice. Lime is a good straight substitute in dressings, marinades, and cocktails. In baking, you can use lime as a substitute but expect a more lime-like flavour. See our Lime converter.
Grapefruit
Grapefruit juice swaps in cup for cup and brings tart citrus acid with a bitter, floral edge lemon lacks. For dressings, cocktails, and marinades this is a good straight swap. Expect a more complex, slightly less sharp result; reduce any added sugar slightly to account for the natural sweetness grapefruit carries. See our Grapefruit converter.
Orange
Marmalade and citrus salads often pair orange and lemon. An orange is about 190 g per cup of chopped flesh against a lemon's 220 g. See our Orange converter.
Lemon Juice
Once the fruit is squeezed the question changes: a medium lemon gives about 52 ml, so a recipe asking for a cup of juice wants roughly five of them. The lemon juice converter handles the volume and weight side of that. See our Lemon Juice converter.
Lime Juice
Cocktails and marinades often take whichever of lemon or lime is on hand. For that use swapping 1:1 by volume works. Lime is a touch more acidic, which matters if you are using it to activate baking soda rather than adding flavour or brightness. Its converter works in millilitres, cups or grams. See our Lime Juice converter.
