Lime Juice
Lime juice weighs 244g per cup, the same as lemon juice. One medium lime yields about 2 tablespoons of juice, less than a lemon. Key limes are smaller and more aromatic than Persian limes. For key lime pie, fresh key lime juice makes a noticeable difference over bottled. Lime juice can substitute for lemon juice in most recipes, though the flavor is slightly more bitter and less sweet. Store fresh lime juice in the refrigerator for up to a week.

03 // WHY IT MATTERS
If your cookies spread, your bread is gummy, or your cake sinks — flour weight is usually why.
A scooped cup of flour can weigh anywhere from 125g to 180g. That's a 44% range — enough to wreck a cake.
Modern recipes use the spoon-and-level method: fluff the flour, spoon it into a dry measuring cup without packing, then sweep flat with a knife.
The scoop method — pushing the cup directly into the bag — packs in 40-50% more flour.
