White Rice (Uncooked)
Rice is the ingredient where measurement errors are most unforgiving: messing up the water-to-rice ratio leads to crunchy or mushy results. Remember: 1 cup of raw rice yields about 3 cups of cooked rice. Weighing your dry grain is the first critical step to achieving that perfect, fluffy restaurant-quality texture.

How this conversion works
Milliliters measure volume while grams measure weight. Because White Rice (Uncooked) has a density of 0.85 g/mL, 10 mL weighs 9 g — not 10 g as it would for water. This converter uses the real density of White Rice (Uncooked) so every measurement is accurate.
Measurement notes
Values are rounded to the nearest whole gram. Actual weight can vary slightly with compaction, temperature, and brand. For precision baking, a kitchen scale is always more reliable than volume measurements.

FAQ
- Should I rinse rice before weighing?
- Weigh it dry FIRST. Rinsing adds water weight. However, do rinse it after weighing to remove excess surface starch, which prevents the rice from becoming gummy/sticky.
- Does short-grain weigh the same as long-grain?
- They are very close in density (approx 185-200g per cup), but short-grain packs slightly tighter. For general cooking, the same weight conversion works, but water ratios will differ.
