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.
