Uncooked white rice conversions: FAQ

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

A cup measures volume, not weight. Uncooked white rice is less dense than water (185 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.
