Rice Cups to Grams Converter
Convert rice cups to grams, grams to cups, or ounces to cups for common rice types, including uncooked white rice, basmati, jasmine, brown rice, arborio, wild rice, and cooked rice.
Convert rice by type
Choose the rice type first. Dry rice and cooked rice measure differently, and short-grain rice usually weighs more per cup than long-grain rice.
For rice cookers and meal prep, weighing dry rice is the most repeatable method. Cup estimates are useful when a recipe or package gives only volume.

Dry rice versus cooked rice
Dry rice gains weight and volume as it absorbs water. If a recipe says “1 cup cooked rice,” use a cooked rice option. If it says “1 cup rice” before cooking, use one of the uncooked rice options.
The cooked yield shown here is a practical planning estimate. Actual yield can change with rinsing, soaking, rice age, pan shape, and how soft you cook it.
