About
Pitted dates are sweet, chewy fruits that weigh about 5.3 ounces (149 grams) per cup.
Pitted dates have a bulk density of about 39 pounds per cubic foot (0.63 grams per milliliter) because their irregular shape leaves empty air gaps in a container. A level measuring cup holds about 5.3 ounces (149 grams), making them much lighter by volume than water or honey. They take up roughly the same amount of space as other dried fruits like raisins or dried cranberries. Chopping or firmly pressing the fruit eliminates the gaps and increases the weight that fits in a cup.
