Fresh Lemon Juice Measuring FAQs

How many medium lemons are needed to yield 1 cup (244 grams) of juice? ▾

One medium lemon produces about 2 to 3 tablespoons (30–45g) of juice, so you will need 5 to 6 medium juicy lemons for 1 cup.

Can bottled lemon juice be used instead of fresh juice? ▾

Bottled juice works well for canning where consistent 5% acidity is legally required, but lacks the bright floral terpene aromatics of freshly squeezed juice.
