Uncooked Long-Grain White Rice Measuring FAQs

Should I weigh white rice before or after rinsing? ▾

Always weigh rice dry before rinsing; surface rinse water clings to the grains and skews both your dry weight and water cooking ratio.

How much cooked rice does 185 grams of dry rice yield? ▾

A standard 185g cup of dry long-grain white rice absorbs roughly double its weight in water, yielding about 3 cups (470–500 grams) of cooked rice.
