Arborio is a short-grain Italian rice with a high starch content that gives risotto and rice pudding their creamy texture. One metric cup (250 ml) of uncooked arborio rice weighs 220 g (7.76 oz). Use this converter when a recipe calls for cups and you want to weigh the rice, or when scaling a risotto or dessert up or down.

Arborio's fat, round grains pack more densely in a cup than long-grain rice, so the same cup holds more grams than you might expect from other rice varieties. Weighing in grams removes that variation and gives you a consistent starch level every time.

Is 1 cup of cooked arborio rice the same weight as 1 cup of dry arborio rice?
No. One cup of cooked arborio rice weighs about 200 g, while one cup of dry arborio rice weighs 220 g. They are different states: dry rice soaks up water and swells to roughly 3.11 times its volume as it cooks, so a single dry cup makes several cooked cups. Cooking changes the weight per cup, so the dry and cooked gram figures are not interchangeable. Use the cooked rice converter to switch between dry and cooked amounts. Open the cooked rice converter
