Jasmine rice is a soft, slightly sticky long-grain rice prized for its floral fragrance in Thai and Southeast Asian cooking. One metric cup (250 ml) of uncooked jasmine rice weighs 210 g (7.41 oz). Use this converter when a recipe calls for cups and you want to weigh the rice, or when you need to scale a quantity up or down.

Jasmine rice packs slightly more densely per cup than other long-grain varieties, so the same cup can hold different amounts depending on the rice type and how it was filled. Weighing in grams gives a consistent measure every time.
