Notes To Converting Rice Cups To Grams
As you can see, all types of rice vary roughly between 200 and 210 grams per cup. Somewhere we rounded the values as even when you measure the same type of rice in the same setting you can get different results by 1-5 grams.
Furthermore, when using rice, it is not that important to have exact quantities. You won’t really notice any difference if using 200 or 210 grams of rice, no matter what type.
So simply using 200 grams as the weight of one cup for long grain rice and 210 grams for smaller grain rice will do the job.
We used regular US cups (240 ml) to determine how much is 1 cup of rice in grams.
