Grams to Millilitres — Uncooked White Rice

About the Grams to Millilitres — Uncooked White Rice

The figure here is uncooked long-grain rice. Cooked rice weighs roughly three times as much per cup because of absorbed water, so a recipe calling for "2 cups rice" means something completely different depending on which it meant — check whether a cooking step follows. One cup uncooked gives about three cups cooked, feeding three people as a side. The figure this page works from is 185 g per US cup, the spooned-and-levelled weight recorded by King Arthur Baking and the USDA food database. Converting gram to millilitre for uncooked white rice, the amounts that come up most often are: 25 gram = 32 millilitre; 50 gram = 63.9 millilitre; 75 gram = 95.9 millilitre; 100 gram = 128 millilitre; 150 gram = 192 millilitre; 200 gram = 256 millilitre; 250 gram = 32 millilitre; 500 gram = 639 millilitre; 1000 gram = 1279 millilitre.

What people use it for

• Following a US recipe with a kitchen scale instead of cup measures.
• Scaling a recipe up or down without compounding measuring error.
• Converting a European recipe written in grams into cups.

The maths behind it

This tool uses millilitre = gram × 1.2788553324, derived from uncooked white rice weighing 185 g per US cup. Every intermediate value is shown on screen, so the result can be checked by hand.

Where this tool stops

Volume-to-weight conversion is inherently approximate. Humidity, brand, how finely something is milled and how long it has sat in the cupboard all shift the figure by a few per cent.
