Cups = grams ÷ cooked grams per cupCups = 100 ÷ 158 = 0.63 cup (white)Cups = 100 ÷ 195 = 0.51 cup (brown)Therefore, 100 grams of cooked white rice equals 0.63 cups.
Cooked vs Uncooked Rice: Why the Values Differ
Uncooked white rice weighs 185 grams per cup, but after cooking the same rice weighs only about 158 grams per cup because each grain swells with water and takes up more space. A cup of uncooked rice (185 grams) cooks into roughly 3 cups of cooked rice weighing about 470 grams — the weight more than doubles while the volume triples.
Uncooked White Rice

How Many Cups Is 200 Grams of Cooked Rice?
200 grams of cooked white rice is 1.27 cups and 200 grams of cooked brown rice is 1.03 cups. Two hundred grams is a common single serving of cooked rice — about 1¼ cups of white rice.
How Much Cooked Rice Is 1 Cup?

From Uncooked to Cooked: Yield Guide
As a rule of thumb, 1 cup of uncooked white rice (185 grams) yields about 3 cups of cooked rice, and 1 cup of uncooked brown rice (190 grams) yields about 4 cups of cooked rice. So if you need 2 cups of cooked white rice, start with about ⅔ cup (123 grams) of uncooked rice — see 300 grams of rice to cups for larger uncooked amounts.
Why Grams Have Different Cup Values
Cups measure how much space an ingredient occupies, while grams measure how heavy that ingredient is. Different foods pack different amounts of mass into the same volume, which is why a conversion must always include an ingredient.
How to Measure More Accurately
For dry ingredients such as flour, spoon the ingredient into the cup and level it off, and do not press it firmly unless the recipe asks you to pack it. For baking, a digital kitchen scale is usually the simplest way to reproduce a gram measurement consistently.
US Cups vs Metric Cups
Our main conversions use a US customary cup of 236.588 ml. Other cup standards change the grams-per-cup value, so the calculator above adjusts the result when you switch standards.
| Cup Standard | 1 Cup Volume |
|---|---|
| US Customary | 236.588 ml |
| US Legal | 240 ml |
| Metric | 250 ml |
| Imperial | 284.131 ml |
