Grams of Rice to Cups Converter
This page converts grams of uncooked long-grain rice into cups, handy when a recipe is written in metric weights but you only own measuring cups. About 185 g of uncooked long-grain rice fills one cup, so you divide the weight by 185. Weighing is more accurate than scooping, so use these numbers as a guide.

How much does a cup really weigh?
Density is the reason there is no single answer: a cup is a measure of space, not weight, so its weight depends on the ingredient. Uncooked long-grain white rice weighs about 185 g per cup; short-grain and basmati vary by 5 to 10%. The figure of 185 g per cup used here is a common baking reference value; your own flour, humidity and scooping habit can move it a few percent either way.
Measure by spooning the ingredient lightly into the cup and leveling the top with a knife; never press it down unless the recipe says "packed". Scooping straight from the bag compacts dry ingredients and can add 20% or more. A digital kitchen scale removes the guesswork entirely, and it also means fewer dishes to wash.
