Important Considerations for Chopped Dates:
The weight of 1 US cup of pitted and chopped dates can vary depending on the size of the chop and how tightly they are packed. A common average is around **140-160 grams per cup** (approximately 5-5.6 ounces).
Softer, stickier dates (like Medjool) might pack more densely than drier varieties.
If a recipe calls for "packed" chopped dates, the weight per cup will be higher. This chart assumes a moderately packed measure common for baking.
For recipes where date content is critical for sweetness or binding, measuring by weight is recommended for consistency.
