  • A tablespoon here is the 15 ml metric standard, about 16.67 to a metric cup, the same size as a UK tablespoon. A US tablespoon is smaller at 14.79 ml, so US cooks measuring with US spoons need slightly more. An Australian tablespoon is larger at 20 ml, so it holds about a third more.

  • A little over or under won't ruin the bake, though it can nudge the final taste or colour.

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.
