Date syrup: US, metric & UK cups compared
A “cup” isn’t the same size everywhere, so 1 cup of date syrup weighs a different number of grams depending on which cup your recipe uses. The US cup is 236.6 ml, while Australia, New Zealand, Canada and modern UK recipes use a 250 ml metric cup. Here’s 1 cup of date syrup in each:

| UK imperial cup | 284 ml | 408 g | Older British recipes |
| Japanese cup | 200 ml | 287 g | Japan |
Unless a recipe says otherwise, US recipes mean the US cup and Australian/UK recipes mean the 250 ml metric cup. The tables higher up this page use the US cup.

Date syrup by the spoonful and by the ounce
Recipes rarely stop at cups. One tablespoon of date syrup weighs about 21.2g, and one teaspoon about 7.08g, because a US cup holds 16 tablespoons or 48 teaspoons.
- 1 tablespoon date syrup to grams = 21.2g
- 2 tablespoons date syrup = 42.5g
- 3 tablespoons date syrup = 63.8g
- 1 teaspoon date syrup = 7.08g
Weight units do not depend on the ingredient, so 8 oz of date syrup is 227g and 4 oz is 113g, the same as 8 oz of anything else. That 8 oz is 0.67 cups of date syrup — the number that does change, because it depends on how much a cup of date syrup weighs.
How many cups is 100g, 200g or 300g of date syrup?
Because one cup of date syrup weighs about 340 grams, you can convert any weight to cups by dividing by 340. So 100g of date syrup is about 0.29 cups, 200g is about 0.59 cups, 250g is about 0.74 cups, and 300g is about 0.88 cups. For any other amount, type the grams straight into the converter above and switch it to show cups.
How to measure date syrup accurately
For the most reliable baking results, weigh date syrup on a kitchen scale rather than scooping by volume. One US cup of date syrup weighs about 340 grams (12 oz), but the exact figure changes with how tightly it's packed and the brand. Scooping straight from the bag compacts date syrup and can leave you 15 to 20% over, so spoon it into the cup and level it off for the closest match to the figures above. Use the tables for quick reference, or the converter for any custom amount in cups, grams, ounces or tablespoons.
Tip: Date syrup is about as sweet as honey and pours similarly when warm; oil the cup before measuring so it releases cleanly.
