Radish converter: whole radishes, cups, grams
A recipe says '1 cup sliced radish' or '6 radishes', but a French Breakfast radish is a fraction of the size of a watermelon radish. A medium red globe radish weighs about 15 g, so the count climbs fast as the variety shrinks. This converter moves between whole radishes, sliced cups, grams, and ounces.
A small radish is close to a third of the weight of a large one, so 'a handful of radishes' in a salad or pickle jar can swing the yield. Pick the right size below to keep slaws, garnishes, and quick pickles on target.
How much does a radish weigh?
Weight runs from about 8 g (0.28 oz) for a small radish up to 25 g (0.88 oz) for a large one, with a medium, or average, one at 15 g (0.53 oz).

Radish 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 radish varieties compare.
| Variety | Best for |
|---|---|
| Red Globe | Everyday salads, slaws, and garnishes: round red skin and white flesh, crisp and peppery; the standard supermarket radish. |
| French Breakfast | Raw snacking and light roasting: oblong red-and-white skin, milder and crunchy. |
| Daikon | Grating, braising, and pickling: long white root, large and mild with a clean bite. |
| Watermelon Radish | Colourful slices and plating: green skin and pink flesh, sweeter and nutty. |
Which should I pick?
For everyday salads, slaws, and garnishes, the Red Globe radish is the supermarket default: round, crisp, and peppery. No Red Globe? French Breakfast radishes are milder and equally crunchy, good raw or lightly roasted. For a large, mild radish to grate or braise, reach for Daikon. Watermelon radish is the pick for colourful slices with a sweeter, nutty bite.
Frequently Asked Questions
- What is the size of a medium radish?
- A medium radish weighs about 15 g, which works out to roughly 0.13 cups (0.13 US cups) of chopped flesh. Radishes 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 radish weigh?
- An average radish is the same as a medium one: about 15 g. A small radish is lighter at around 8 g and a large one heavier at about 25 g, so the size you actually have changes the total for any recipe that counts radishes by the piece rather than by weight.
- How much does a large radish weigh?
- A large radish weighs about 25 g, noticeably more than a medium, or average, one at 15 g or a small one at 8 g. Set the size selector to large to convert cups, grams and ounces for the bigger radishes you actually have on the counter.
- How much juice is in a radish?
- A radish yields approximately 55% of its weight in juice. That means a medium radish (15 g) yields about 8 ml, a small one (8 g) about 4 ml and a large one (25 g) about 14 ml. See the juice yield calculator if you are adding radish 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 radishes, so 50 grams is always 1.76 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
