Measuring uncooked white rice by cup and by weight
A cup of uncooked long-grain white rice weighs about 198 g. Rice is easy to measure by volume because the grains settle consistently, and 1 cup uncooked gives about 3 cups cooked. Short-grain and brown rice differ a little (brown is closer to 190 g), and basmati is lighter, so adjust the water if your rice cooker markings assume a particular type.
