Convert Dried Figs measurements

Dried Figs Measurement Converter

Use the tool below to convert dried figs from the measurements in your recipe to the measurements that you need.

Dried figs are chewy, honey-sweet dried fruit dense with tiny seeds, used in fruit cakes, energy balls, cheese boards, and oat slices. One metric cup (250 ml) of chopped dried figs weighs around 150 grams or 5.29 ounces. When a recipe lists figs in cups but you only have scales, converting by weight keeps the fruit ratio right.

Chopped dried figs clump and pack, so a firmly pressed cup can weigh noticeably more than a loose one. Weighing in grams keeps sweetness and moisture steady across batches of slices and cakes.

Frequently Asked Questions

Are dried figs and dried mission figs the same thing?
Yes. Dried mission figs is another name for dried figs, so they are the same ingredient and measure identically. A cup of dried figs weighs 150 grams under either name, and every conversion on this page holds whichever name your recipe uses. Recipes swap the two freely, so you can follow either without changing quantities or weighing any differently.
What is 0.25 cups of dried figs in tablespoons?
0.25 cups of dried figs is 4.17 tablespoons. This is the same for any ingredient, since cups and tablespoons are both volume units and do not depend on what you are measuring. One cup is about 16.67 tablespoons, so 0.5 cups is 8.33 tablespoons. Use the volume converter to switch between cups, tablespoons, teaspoons, and millilitres for any amount. Open the volume converter
How much does a cup of dried figs weigh?
1 cup of dried figs in grams is 150 grams. The ratio is fixed, so 2 cups is 300 grams and half a cup is 75 grams. Weighing dried figs by the cup is the most common way to measure it for baking. The chart above this FAQ lists the cup amounts recipes call for, and the converter at the top handles anything between them.

100 grams of dried figs is 0.67 cups. The conversion scales in a straight line, so 200 grams is 1.33 cups and 50 grams is 0.33 cups. Grams to cups helps when a recipe gives a weight but you measure with cups. The chart above this FAQ covers the other weights cooks measure out.

Related to Dried Figs

Dates

Dates swap 1:1 by volume for chopped dried figs and bring the same chewy, caramel sweetness with a stickier texture and no seeds. They are heavier per cup (178 g vs 150 g), so weigh when the fruit ratio drives a fruit cake, energy ball, or oat slice. See our Dates converter.

Raisins

Raisins swap 1:1 by volume for chopped dried figs with a lighter, grape-sweet flavour and no seedy crunch. They weigh a little more per cup (165 g vs 150 g), so weigh to keep the fruit ratio right in cakes, scones, and granola. See our Raisins converter.

Chopped Dried Apricots

Chopped dried apricots are tangier and slightly heavier than dried figs (160 g vs 150 g per cup). Swap 1:1 by volume in bars and breakfast slices for a brighter note. See our Chopped Dried Apricots converter.
