About this calculator
Recipes treat produce by count ("1 medium onion") or yield ("1 cup chopped onion") — but they're different units. A medium onion yields ~1 cup chopped, a large yields ~1¾. Citrus yields vary 30% by season — buy 1 extra lemon if a recipe calls for "juice of 3." This converter gives standard yields from established sources (USDA, BHG, America's Test Kitchen). Use as a shopping guide rather than a precise measure.
