The short answer: A peach typically weighs about 120 to 180 grams (4 to 6 ounces), depending on variety and size.
Peach weight by type
Peach weight varies with variety and size, and the small pit makes the edible portion a little less. Here are some common types and their typical weights.
| Type (example) | Typical weight |
|---|---|
| Small peach | about 90-120 g (3.2-4.2 oz) |
| Medium peach | about 120-160 g (4.2-5.6 oz) |
| Large peach | about 160-220 g (5.6-7.8 oz) |
| Donut / flat peach | about 80-130 g (2.8-4.6 oz) |
What affects peach weight
- Variety. Freestone, clingstone, and flat peaches differ in size.
- Size grade. Large peaches can weigh nearly double small ones.
- Pit. The pit is part of the whole-fruit weight until removed.
- Ripeness. Ripe peaches hold their juice and feel heavy.
- Water content. Fresh peaches weigh more than softening, overripe ones.
- Growing conditions. Climate and care affect fruit size.
How peach weight compares
A medium peach weighs about the same as a tennis ball plus a little, or roughly the same as a small apple (around 140 grams).
