How to measure it
Uncooked long grain white rice weighs about 185 g a cup. The grains pour and settle consistently, so this number is dependable without any special technique.
The trap with rice is cooked versus uncooked. Rice roughly triples in volume as it absorbs water, and a cup of cooked rice weighs only about 160 g. A recipe that means cooked rice but gets uncooked will be inedibly dense.
Short grain and sushi rice pack slightly heavier, around 200 g a cup, and brown rice sits near 190 g. The 185 g figure covers standard long grain.
Density source: Government food composition data (long grain white rice, raw). Method assumed: Uncooked long grain. Cooked rice is about 160 g a cup.
