How ½ cup of chopped dates works out
One US cup of chopped dates weighs 147 grams, so multiply by 0.5 to get half a cup: 147 × 0.5 = 73.5 g. In the other direction, 73.5 g of chopped dates divided by 147 brings you back to ½ cup.
If you have no scales, ½ cup is 8 level tablespoons of chopped dates (24 teaspoons), because a US cup holds 16 tablespoons. In a 250 ml metric cup — the Australian, New Zealand and modern UK standard — the same fraction is 77.7 g.
