Important Considerations for White Long Grain Rice:
The weight of 1 US cup of uncooked white long grain rice typically falls in the range of **180-200 grams** (approximately 6.3-7 ounces). A common average is 185g or 190g per cup.
Rice generally expands to **3 to 4 times its original volume** when cooked, depending on the amount of water used and cooking method. This chart gives a general estimate.
Different types of rice (e.g., short grain, basmati, jasmine) may have slightly different densities and expansion rates.
Rinsing rice before cooking can affect the final texture and slightly reduce the weight of the dry rice if measured after rinsing.
For consistent results, especially for larger quantities, measuring rice by weight can be more accurate than by volume.
