Many rice dishes and recipes from East and Southeast Asia measure rice in cups, but the gram weight varies with how tightly the grains pack. One metric cup (250 ml) of uncooked white rice weighs 215 g (7.58 oz). This converter moves between cups, grams, tablespoons, and ounces for any amount a recipe needs.

Dry rice packs loosely or firmly in a cup, shifting the weight by up to 15 g depending on the grain and how the cup is filled. Weighing in grams keeps your rice-to-water ratio accurate every time you cook.

Are white rice and plain rice the same thing?
Yes. Plain rice is another name for white rice, so they are the same ingredient and convert identically. 1 ounce of white rice is 0.03 kg under either name, and 2 ounces is 0.06 kg. Recipes use the two names interchangeably, so you can follow either one without changing quantities or weighing any differently.
Is 1 cup of cooked white rice the same weight as 1 cup of dry white rice?
No. One cup of cooked white rice weighs about 165 g, while one cup of dry white rice weighs 215 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
