Ounces here are ounces of weight (1 oz = 28.35 g), not fluid ounces. One US cup is 8 fluid ounces of volume whatever is in it, but what it weighs in ounces depends on the ingredient: a cup of dates (chopped) weighs about 5.26 oz. Why these two are not the same. Decimals for thirds are rounded (1/3 cup is 0.333 cups), and each linked amount opens a page comparing every ingredient at that measure.

About measuring dates (chopped)
Pitted dates chopped into pieces come in at about 149 grams per US cup, but this is one of the ingredients where a cup measure is least trustworthy, because everything depends on how small you chop. Coarse halves leave large gaps and weigh in light; finely chopped dates pack tightly and can push well past the figure. Whole dates are worse still, since a Medjool is far larger than a Deglet Noor, so a recipe calling for a cup of dates could mean a handful of one or twice as many of the other. If your recipe gives a weight, use the weight.
Chop dates with an oiled knife or scissors to stop them sticking, and weigh after chopping rather than before.
How many grams is a cup of dates (chopped)?
One US cup (240 ml) of dates (chopped) weighs about 149 grams. Because a cup measures volume rather than weight, that figure is specific to dates (chopped) and does not transfer to any other ingredient: the same cup holds 125 grams of all-purpose flour and 340 grams of honey.

Frequently asked questions
How many grams is 1 cup of chopped dates?
About 149 grams for pitted dates chopped into small pieces, following the King Arthur Baking ingredient weight chart. Coarser pieces pack less densely and weigh less in the same cup.
How many dates are in a cup?
It depends on the variety, because Medjool dates are much larger than Deglet Noor. That is exactly why date recipes are better written in grams than in cups or counts.
Should I weigh dates before or after chopping?
After, if the recipe gives a cup measure of chopped dates, since that is what the figure describes. If the recipe gives a plain weight of dates, weigh them whole and pitted.

Published figures for the same ingredient vary between references anyway, because how an ingredient is packed changes what a cup of it weighs. Treat any cup figure as accurate to within a few percent, and weigh on a scale when a recipe is sensitive. Our full approach is on the methodology page.
