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?

French BreakfastRaw snacking and light roasting: oblong red-and-white skin, milder and crunchy.
DaikonGrating, braising, and pickling: long white root, large and mild with a clean bite.
Watermelon RadishColourful 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

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 a medium radish weigh?
A medium radish weighs about 15 g, with a small one around 8 g and a large one near 25 g. That range changes the weight of any recipe that counts radishes by the piece, so set the size selector to match what you actually have before trusting a cup or gram figure.
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.
