Uncooked Brown Long Grain Rice: US Cups to Grams (g) & Cooked Volume Conversion
Convert volumes of uncooked brown long grain rice measured in US cups to its approximate weight in metric grams (g) and estimate the resulting cooked volume. Brown rice typically requires more water and time to cook than white rice.

Important Considerations for Brown Long Grain Rice:
The weight of 1 US cup of uncooked brown long grain rice is similar to white long grain rice, typically in the range of **180-200 grams** (approximately 6.3-7 ounces). A common average is 185g or 195g per cup.
Brown rice usually expands to **3 to 4 times its original volume** when cooked, similar to white rice, but may require more water and a longer cooking time.
Different types of brown rice (e.g., short grain, basmati) may have slightly different densities and expansion rates.
For consistent results, especially for larger quantities, measuring rice by weight can be more accurate than by volume.
