Rice Grams to Cups

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.
