Questions
How many grams is a cup of uncooked rice?
A US cup (236.6 ml) of raw long-grain white rice weighs 185 g. A metric cup (250 ml) weighs about 195 g.
How much uncooked rice per person?
As a side dish, about 60 to 80 g of raw rice per person is usual, roughly a third of a US cup. For a main course, plan about 100 g.
How much cooked rice does a cup of raw rice make?
Rice absorbs water and swells to roughly three times its raw volume, so one cup of raw rice yields about three cups cooked. A cup of cooked long-grain rice weighs about 158 g.
Is the cup that comes with a rice cooker the same as a US cup?
No. A rice cooker cup is the Japanese gō, about 180 ml, smaller than a US cup (236.6 ml). Use grams to stay safe.
Do short-grain and basmati rice weigh the same?
Not exactly. This page uses the USDA figure for regular long-grain white rice; short-grain, basmati and brown rice differ a little per cup.
A US cup of uncooked long-grain white rice weighs 185 g according to the USDA. 100 ml of raw rice weighs about 78 g.
These figures are for dry, uncooked rice. Cooked rice weighs and measures very differently, because grains absorb water and swell.
