Convert White Rice from Tablespoon

White Rice Measurement Converter

Use the tool below to convert white rice from Tablespoon to the measurement that you need.

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.

A little over or under won't ruin the bake, though it can nudge the final taste or colour.

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.
