How to measure chopped dried figs
The chart entry is “Figs (dried, chopped), 1 cup = 5 1/4 oz = 149 g”, so the figure is for pieces. Whole dried figs are not listed, so chop before you measure. Chopped figs share their cup weight with chopped dates and loose raisins on the chart, which makes the three easy to swap by volume. Diced dried apricots are lighter at 128 grams per cup and dried cranberries at 114 grams. Half a cup is about 75 grams, a third of a cup about 50 grams and a quarter cup about 37 grams. Sticky pieces cling to the cup, so a scale saves scraping.
Sources: 149 grams per US cup is the weight per cup in King Arthur Baking’s ingredient weight chart (open the chart), entry “Figs (dried, chopped), 1 cup = 5 1/4 oz = 149 g”. A US cup is about 237 milliliters.
