How many carbs are in lemon juice?

#1

I cannot get a straight answer. Some sources say like 20 carbs per cup, some say zero. What is it actually?

Lemon juice is sweet. My bottle says 1 g per Tbsp. Seems likely.

Fresh squeezed lemon juice = 1.5 net carbs per TBSP. (24 net carbs/cup)

Thanks. I have heard this, which would be 16 per cup. However the gentleman below is saying 24 per cup. How can I know which is correct?

Thank you. Your answer is a bit higher than the other user who answered 1 per Tbsp. How do I know which is correct?
