Grams to Cups: Pitted Dates
If your recipe is written in cups but your scale reads grams — or the other way round — this page solves the conversion for pitted dates. One cup of pitted dates weighs about 147 grams, which works out to a density of 0.62 g/ml. From there, half a cup is roughly 74 g, a quarter cup about 37 g, and one tablespoon about 9 g.
Converting between weight and volume depends on density, and density is specific to each ingredient: a cup of pitted dates does not weigh the same as a cup of flour or sugar. That is why this tool uses the measured density of pitted dates, taken from the USDA FoodData Central database, rather than a one-size-fits-all figure.
