How Much Does a lemon Weigh?
A lemon weighs about 58 g (1 lemon — 2 oz)
Based on Lemons, raw, without peel — USDA FoodData Central (FDC #167746).
How many lemons in a pound (and a kilo)?
| Amount | Number of lemons |
|---|---|
| In 1 pound (454 g) | ≈ 8 lemons |
| In 1 kilogram | ≈ 17 lemons |
| In 1 cup (sections) | 212 g |
Counts are approximate — produce is sold by weight, not by size, so a pound can hold a few more small lemons or fewer large ones.
About lemon weight
A lemon is mostly peel and pith, so its 58 g average weight (USDA) doesn't tell you the yield — that fruit gives only a couple of tablespoons of juice. Thick-skinned winter lemons weigh more but juice less, which frustrates recipes that call for “the juice of one lemon.” Weigh or measure the juice when it's the star. (Source: USDA FoodData Central.)
