1 cup uncooked brown rice = 1 cup uncooked quinoa, cooked 1:2 with water for 15–20 min (Healthline)

Uncooked brown rice conversions: FAQ

Why doesn't a cup of uncooked brown rice weigh the same as a cup of water?

A cup measures volume, not weight. Uncooked brown rice is less dense than water (190 g versus 237 g per cup), so the same volume has a different weight. Weighing in grams is the most accurate way to measure it.
