Dates are sticky-sweet dried fruit that go into energy balls, sticky toffee pudding, fruit cakes, and no-bake slices. One metric cup (250 ml) of chopped pitted dates weighs about 178 grams or 6.28 ounces. When a recipe lists dates in cups but you only have scales, converting by weight keeps the fruit ratio right.

Chopped dates pack and clump, so a firmly pressed cup can weigh 15 to 20 grams more than a loose one. Weighing in grams keeps sweetness and moisture steady across batches of slices and puddings.
