Cup standards compared
Convert cooking volumes
The charts above cover weight. If you also need to move between cups, decilitres, millilitres and spoons, this converts any volume:
1 cup (US) in every unit
A US cup is 236.6 ml, a metric cup is 250 ml and a UK tablespoon is larger than a US one — so the system your recipe was written in matters. Pick the matching unit rather than assuming.
Questions
How many grams is 1 cup of uncooked white rice?
One US cup of uncooked white rice weighs 195 grams. That works out to a density of about 0.82 g per mL.
How many cups is 100 g of uncooked white rice?
100 g of uncooked white rice is about 0.51 cups, or roughly 8.2 tablespoons.
Why can’t I convert cups to grams directly?
A cup measures volume and a gram measures weight, so the conversion depends entirely on the ingredient. A cup of uncooked white rice is 195 g, but a cup of honey is 340 g and a cup of cocoa powder is only 84 g.
Does the cup size matter?
Yes. A US customary cup is 236.59 mL, a US legal cup is 240 mL and a metric cup is 250 mL. Using a metric cup for uncooked white rice gives 206 g instead of 195 g — about 6 percent more.
