Pomegranate converter: whole pomegranates, cups, grams
A recipe says '1 cup pomegranate seeds' or '2 pomegranates' but the fruit ranges from small to large. A medium pomegranate is about 280 g whole, and the cup figures here measure the loose arils (seeds), not the whole fruit. This converter moves between whole pomegranates, cups of arils, grams, and ounces.
A small pomegranate is 200 g and a large one 380 g, so 'two pomegranates' can swing from 400 g to over 750 g of fruit, and the aril yield shifts with it. Pick the right size below to keep salads, dressings, and garnishes on target.
How much does a pomegranate weigh?
Weight runs from about 200 g (7.05 oz) for a small pomegranate up to 380 g (13.4 oz) for a large one, with a medium, or average, one at 280 g (9.88 oz).

Pomegranate 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 pomegranate varieties compare.
| Variety | Best for |
|---|---|
| Wonderful | Arils, juice, and garnish: large, deep red, and juicy, the supermarket standard. |
| Angel Red | Juicing: early-ripening with abundant juice and soft seeds. |
| Eversweet | Fresh eating and salads: mild, low-acid arils with pale juice. |
Which should I pick?
For arils, juice, and garnishes, Wonderful is the standard supermarket variety: large, deep red, and reliably juicy. No Wonderful? Angel Red ripens earlier with soft seeds, good for juicing. Reach for Eversweet when you want a milder, low-acid aril for fresh eating and salads.
Frequently Asked Questions
- What is the size of a medium pomegranate?
- A medium pomegranate weighs about 280 g, which works out to roughly 1.56 cups (1.62 US cups) of chopped flesh. Pomegranates 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 pomegranate weigh?
- An average pomegranate is the same as a medium one: about 280 g. A small pomegranate is lighter at around 200 g and a large one heavier at about 380 g, so the size you actually have changes the total for any recipe that counts pomegranates by the piece rather than by weight.
- How much does a large pomegranate weigh?
- A large pomegranate weighs about 380 g, noticeably more than a medium, or average, one at 280 g or a small one at 200 g. Set the size selector to large to convert cups, grams and ounces for the bigger pomegranates you actually have on the counter.
- How many cups of pomegranates are in 200 grams?
- 200 grams of prepared pomegranate comes to about 1.11 cups. Size does not move that figure, since a cup measures prepared flesh: a large pomegranate and a small one fill it to the same weight. Counting whole pomegranates is a different question, and the converter above answers that one by size.
- How much juice is in a pomegranate?
- A pomegranate yields approximately 55% of its weight in juice. That means a medium pomegranate (280 g) yields about 154 ml, a small one (200 g) about 110 ml and a large one (380 g) about 209 ml. See the juice yield calculator if you are adding pomegranate 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 pomegranates, 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
