Ingredient questions

White rice FAQ.

How many grams are in a cup of white rice?

This page uses 198g per US cup as the PantryGauge reference. The named ingredient and measurement basis matter, so do not reuse the figure for a different product state.

How should white rice be measured?

Measure it dry and level the cup; the direct chart entry is 99g for ½ cup. When a recipe gives grams, weighing remains the more repeatable option.

Can I use this white rice conversion for another type?

Use caution. Cooked rice and rice flour are separate chart entries and should not share this conversion. Check the recipe's exact ingredient and, when available, its product-specific weight reference.
