Juicing calculators

Quick answer. Three tools: a planner that turns recipes into a shopping list, one calculator that turns lemons, limes and oranges into tablespoons and cups (a medium lemon is about 2 to 3.1 tbsp), and another that adds up calories, sugar, fiber and vitamin K for any smoothie or juice.

The calculators

Where the numbers come from

Every nutrition value comes from USDA FoodData Central (SR Legacy). Citrus juice per fruit comes from the same database plus a university extension guide, and each fruit is labelled "two sources" or "single source" so you can see how much weight a figure can carry. We do not estimate values we cannot source: key limes and Meyer lemons have no yield figure in either source, so the calculator leaves them out.

The full list of values, the source of each one and the date we checked it sits in our data log. The tools are for cooking and shopping, and they give general information, not medical or nutrition advice. See the recipe and nutrition disclaimer.
