Measuring white rice
This is dry rice. Cooked rice weighs much less per cup.
These weights are for white rice (long-grain, uncooked). A different form, or a cup filled another way, weighs differently, so weigh it if the recipe gives grams.
The King Arthur Baking ingredient weight chart gives 198 g per cup. We use the USDA figure throughout.
