Related to Lime
Lemon
Lemon is milder and a touch sweeter than lime. A medium lemon (115 g) yields close to two Persian limes worth of juice, so half a lemon often subs for one lime. This is a good straight substitute in dressings, marinades, and cocktails. Lemon will not give the floral flavours of a lime. See our Lemon converter.
Orange
After a sweeter citrus instead? The orange converter works out whole-fruit counts and chopped cups across small, medium, and large sizes. See our Orange converter.
Grapefruit
Swapping the sharp note for a bitter one? The grapefruit converter maps whole grapefruits to segmented cups, grams, and ounces at any size. See our Grapefruit converter.
Lime Juice
Recipes often call for lime juice by the cup or spoon rather than for whole limes. The lime juice converter scales a recipe by volume or weight, whether the juice is bottled or you squeezed it yourself. See our Lime Juice converter.
