How to measure lime juice

Bottled and fresh weigh nearly the same; slightly denser than water from dissolved acids.

Because a cup measures volume rather than weight, the most reliable way to measure lime juice is with a digital kitchen scale. If you are working from cups, keep your technique consistent every time so your results are repeatable. For more, see our guide on baking by weight versus volume.

Lime juice conversions: FAQ

Why doesn't a cup of lime juice weigh the same as a cup of water?

A cup measures volume, not weight. Lime juice is denser than water (242 g versus 237 g per cup), so the same volume has a different weight. Weighing in grams is the most accurate way to measure it.
