How to read this
- A cup is not one size. The US cup is 240 ml, the metric cup used in Korea and Japan is 200 ml, and older British recipes mean 284 ml — the same "1 cup" can differ by 20%.
- These figures assume spoon-and-level: scooped in and struck flat. Packing flour into the cup adds about 30 g to the same cup.
- Baking is far more reliable by weight, because the hydration of a dough turns on a few grams either way.
- Tablespoon means 15 ml and teaspoon 5 ml here. Cutlery spoons are bigger, so use measuring spoons.
Frequently asked questions
Q. How many grams is a cup of Lemon juice?
246 g in a US cup (240 ml) and 205 g in a metric cup (200 ml), measured spoon-and-level.
Q. How much does a tablespoon of Lemon juice weigh?
A tablespoon (15 ml) is 15.4 g and a teaspoon (5 ml) is 5.1 g. These are measuring spoons; cutlery is larger.
Q. How many cups is 100 g of Lemon juice?
About 0.4 cups by the US cup, or 98 ml by volume. Use this when the recipe is in grams and you have no scale.
Q. Why weigh it instead?
Lemon juice runs 1025 g per litre. How you fill the cup changes how much fits, so for a dough that has to be right, a scale saves the bake.
Q. Is it heavier than water?
Yes — water is 1000 g per litre, so the same volume of this weighs more.
