  • A tablespoon here is the 15 ml metric standard, about 16.67 to a metric cup, the same size as a UK tablespoon. A US tablespoon is smaller at 14.79 ml, so US cooks measuring with US spoons need slightly more. An Australian tablespoon is larger at 20 ml, so it holds about a third more.

  • One metric tablespoon of brown rice weighs about 12 grams. A US tablespoon (14.79 ml) holds about 11.8 grams and an Australian tablespoon (20 ml) about 16 grams.
  • A little over or under won't ruin the bake, though it can nudge the final taste or colour.

Brown rice retains its outer bran layer, which adds fibre and a slightly nuttier flavour compared to white rice. One metric cup (250 ml) of uncooked brown rice weighs 200 g (7.05 oz). Use this converter when a recipe calls for cups and you want to weigh the rice precisely, or when you need to scale a quantity up or down.

Whole-grain rice varies more in cup weight than white rice, as the bran layer makes each grain slightly irregular. Measuring by grams removes that variable and gives consistent results across different rice varieties.

Is 1 cup of cooked brown rice the same weight as 1 cup of dry brown rice?
No. One cup of cooked brown rice weighs about 210 g, while one cup of dry brown rice weighs 200 g. They are different states: dry rice soaks up water and swells to roughly 3.78 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
