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.
