Frequently Asked Questions

How many cups is one medium fig?

One medium fig (about 50 g) gives roughly 0.32 cups of chopped flesh. A small one (around 40 g) yields about 0.26 cups and a large one (around 64 g) about 0.41 cups, so set the size selector to match the figs you actually have before you trust the figure. Open fig converter

How much does a medium fig weigh?

A medium fig weighs about 50 g, with a small one around 40 g and a large one near 64 g. That range changes the weight of any recipe that counts figs by the piece, so set the size selector to match what you actually have before trusting a cup or gram figure.

How much does an average fig weigh?

An average fig is the same as a medium one: about 50 g. A small fig is lighter at around 40 g and a large one heavier at about 64 g, so the size you actually have changes the total for any recipe that counts figs by the piece rather than by weight.

Which fig variety should I use?

For fresh eating and tarts, Black Mission is the widely stocked all-rounder: deep purple skin and sweet, jammy flesh. Brown Turkey is milder and good for baking and preserves. Reach for Kadota, a green-skinned fig that holds its shape when cooked, for canning and poaching; Calimyrna is large, golden, and nutty, the best pick for drying and cheese boards.

How much does a large fig weigh?

A large fig weighs about 64 g, noticeably more than a medium, or average, one at 50 g or a small one at 40 g. Set the size selector to large to convert cups, grams and ounces for the bigger figs you actually have on the counter.
