Cups to Grams Rice Converter

Estimate grams from a measured cup of rice, with separate reference weights for raw and cooked states. The USDA household portions used here describe long-grain rice; they do not establish a universal weight for every variety or cooking method. Reverse conversion uses the same selected state and cup size.

How to use this tool

1. Select cups to grams or grams to cups and enter the quantity.
2. Choose raw white, cooked white or cooked brown long-grain rice.
3. Select US customary or 250 mL metric cups.
4. Check the state and mass-per-cup assumption shown with the answer.

Formula

Grams = cups × state-specific US-cup mass × selected cup mL / 236.5882365; cups = grams / selected-cup mass

Reference weights are 185 g for raw enriched white long-grain rice, 158 g for its cooked counterpart and 195 g for cooked brown long-grain rice. Metric estimates assume the same bulk density in a 250 mL cup.

Example

2 US customary cups of raw white long-grain rice are estimated as 2 × 185 = 370 g. Separately, 2 US cups of cooked white rice use 2 × 158 = 316 g. These describe different measured portions, not the transformation of one batch during cooking.
