Rice Grams to Cups

Rice grams to cups at a glance

One cup of uncooked white rice weighs 185 grams. Rice roughly triples in volume when cooked, so 1 cup dry yields about 3 cups cooked.

These figures are for regular long- or medium-grain white rice. Short-grain and sushi rice pack a touch denser (about 200g per cup); brown rice is similar to white at 185-190g. If your rice cooker came with a cup, note it is 180ml — about ¾ of a US cup, holding roughly 140g.

Dry Goods compared by cup weight

Swapping one type for another changes the weight of a cup, so a recipe written in cups is not portable between them:

What changes a cup of rice

A cup of rice weighs about 185g measured the way this chart assumes. Packing it down can push it toward 241g and a loose fill can leave it near 157g, which is why weighing gives a repeatable result and a cup measure gives an estimate.
