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.

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.

Results use a US customary cup (236.588ml). Spoon and level dry ingredients unless the ingredient name or recipe specifies packed, sifted, melted, chopped, or another condition. Brand, humidity, packing, and measuring technique can change a volume-based result. Reviewed August 15, 2026 against USDA FoodData Central and King Arthur Baking Ingredient Weight Chart.

Questions

How many cups is 500g of rice?

500 grams of uncooked rice is about 2.7 cups — 2⅔ cups gets you very close.

How much does 1 cup of cooked rice weigh?

About 175-200 grams depending on how much water it absorbed — coincidentally close to dry rice per cup, but it represents only a third as much actual rice.

Is the rice cooker cup the same as a measuring cup?

No. Rice cooker cups are 180ml (a Japanese "gō"), while a US cup is 237ml. Use the cup that came with your cooker for its water-level markings to work.

How much dry rice per person?

A typical serving is 75-90g dry rice per person (about ½ cup), which cooks up to roughly 1½ cups.
