Rice Type and Cooking Form Conversion Comparison

Raw rice and cooked rice are not interchangeable volume measurements. Cooking makes rice absorb water and expand, so choose the entry that matches what is physically being measured.

Important: These values convert measurements for rice in the stated form. They do not predict cooking yield exactly, because cooked yield changes with rice variety, rinsing, soaking, water ratio and cooking method.

How to Convert Rice Measurements

Convert grams to cups

Cups = Grams ÷ Grams per Cup
Example: 250 g raw long-grain white rice ÷ 185 = 1.3514 US cups.

Convert cups to grams

Grams = Cups × Grams per Cup
Example: 2 US cups raw long-grain white rice × 185 = 370 grams.

For weight conversions, 1 ounce = approximately 28.35 grams and 1 pound = approximately 453.59 grams. For the US culinary volume used in this chart, 1 cup equals 16 tablespoons or 48 teaspoons.

US Cups, Metric Cups and Imperial Cups

Recipes from different countries may use different cup sizes. Since rice is measured by volume in many recipes, the gram amount changes when a different cup standard is used. The converter lets you choose the cup standard for your recipe.

Raw long-grain white rice cup-size comparison
Cup Standard Cup Volume Used Approx. Raw Rice Weight When It May Appear
US culinary cup240 mL185 gAmerican recipes
Metric cup250 mL192.71 gAustralian and metric-cup recipes
Imperial cup284 mL218.96 gSome older UK or Commonwealth references

Metric and imperial cup rice amounts on this page are calculated by scaling volume from the stated US-cup reference value for the selected rice. For the greatest precision, weigh rice in grams.

How to Measure Rice Correctly

The most important distinction for rice is whether the amount refers to raw rice or cooked rice. A recipe calling for one cup of uncooked rice is not equivalent to one cup of cooked rice. When possible, measure rice in grams before cooking and follow the recipe’s specified water ratio.

Confirm whether the rice is raw or cooked. Select a raw option for rice before it absorbs cooking water, or select a cooked option when measuring a prepared portion.
Use a scale for dry recipe amounts. Place a bowl on a digital scale, tare it to zero and add rice until the required gram amount is reached.
Level cup measurements. If using a cup, fill it with rice and level the top without intentionally pressing or heaping the grains.
Do not use cooked volume to infer exact dry yield. Cooking method and hydration vary, so measure the form the recipe specifies instead of relying on a universal yield ratio.

Raw Rice Measurements

Raw-rice conversions are useful when portioning rice before cooking, scaling a recipe or calculating the amount to add to a rice cooker or pot.

Cooked Rice Measurements

Cooked-rice conversions are useful for serving sizes, meal preparation and recipes that call for rice that has already been cooked and cooled.

Which Rice Conversion Should You Use?

Before Cooking

  • Raw long-grain white rice: the default general dry-rice conversion on this page.
  • Raw long-grain brown rice: use for uncooked brown rice before adding water.
  • Raw wild rice: use for uncooked wild rice, which has a lighter cup weight.

After Cooking

  • Cooked long-grain white rice: use for cooked white rice portions.
  • Cooked brown rice: use for cooked long-grain brown rice portions.
  • Cooked medium-grain, parboiled, glutinous or wild rice: choose the matching entry when available.

Frequently Asked Rice Conversion Questions

How many cups is 100 grams of uncooked white rice?

Using this page’s standard of 185 grams per US cup, 100 grams of raw long-grain white rice is approximately 0.5405 US cups, or a little more than 1/2 cup.

How many grams are in 1 cup of uncooked rice?

This chart uses 185 grams per US cup of raw long-grain white rice. Choose another rice type or a cooked option when the ingredient or preparation differs.

How many grams are in 1 cup of cooked white rice?

For cooked long-grain white rice, this page uses 158 grams per US cup. Cooked rice weighs differently by volume because it has absorbed water.

Is 1 cup of uncooked rice the same as 1 cup of cooked rice?

No. Uncooked rice expands and absorbs water during cooking. A cup of raw long-grain white rice is listed at 185 grams on this page, while a cup of cooked long-grain white rice is listed at 158 grams.

Can I use the same conversion for white rice and brown rice?

Raw long-grain white and raw long-grain brown rice are both listed at 185 grams per US cup in the selected source data, but their cooked cup weights differ. Always choose the type and form you are actually measuring.

Are ounces of rice the same as fluid ounces?

No. Ounces in the calculator mean weight ounces measured on a scale. Fluid ounces measure volume. The cups and spoon conversions are approximate volume equivalents for the selected rice form.

Should I weigh rice before or after cooking?

Follow the recipe or nutrition instruction being used. For cooking a recipe, dry grams are usually the most reproducible measurement. For plated servings or prepared meal portions, select a cooked rice option.

Conversion Methodology

This converter uses published household-measure weights for the listed rice types and cooking forms. The default standard is 1 US cup of raw long-grain white rice = 185 grams. Volume relationships use a culinary US cup of 240 mL, with 16 US tablespoons or 48 US teaspoons per cup. Metric and imperial cup results are calculated by scaling volume from the selected rice’s US-cup basis.

Accuracy note: Raw and cooked rice must be treated separately. Cooked-rice weight can vary depending on grain variety, water absorption, rinsing, soaking and cooking method. When precision matters, use the gram measurement for the rice in the form specified.
