Is 1 cup of cooked jasmine rice the same weight as 1 cup of dry jasmine rice?
No. One cup of cooked jasmine rice weighs about 165 g, while one cup of dry jasmine rice weighs 210 g. They are different states: dry rice soaks up water and swells to roughly 4.17 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
