1 US cup of uncooked white rice = approximately 185 grams. This figure applies to standard long-grain white rice; grain size and variety cause some variation.
Ingredient: White rice (uncooked) — ~185 g per US cup

Uncooked white rice weighs approximately 185 g per US cup for standard long-grain varieties. The exact value varies somewhat: jasmine rice and basmati rice fall in a similar range, while short-grain rice (sushi rice, arborio) can pack slightly denser at 190–200 g/cup. The 185 g figure is marked as approximate for this reason.
For cooking rice, cup measurements are traditionally used for the grain-to-water ratio: 1 cup dry rice to 1.5–2 cups water is the standard US method. However, different rice varieties and cooking methods (absorption vs large-pot boiling) require different ratios — so the cup measure is really about volume ratio, not weight.
Weighing rice in grams is particularly useful for large-scale cooking (restaurants, meal prep) where cup measures become impractical. It also ensures consistent portions: 185 g dry rice yields about 370–400 g cooked rice (roughly 2–3 servings depending on appetite). Nordic and European recipes increasingly specify dry rice in grams; 2 dl uncooked rice ≈ 154 g ≈ 2 servings.
For baking precision, always weigh ingredients in grams rather than measuring by volume. Ingredient figures are culinary approximations based on King Arthur Baking and USDA references.
Approximately 185 grams for standard long-grain white rice. Jasmine and basmati rice are similar; short-grain rice may compact slightly more, giving 190–200 g/cup.
500 grams of white rice equals approximately 2.7 US cups.
1 cup of dry rice yields approximately 3 cups of cooked rice (it roughly triples in volume as it absorbs water).
1 dl of uncooked white rice equals approximately 77 grams.
