How Much Is 1 Gram of Rice (Short Grain) in Cups?
1 gram of rice (short grain) equals 0.01 cups. Rice (short grain) has a density of 200g per cup. Because grams measure weight and cups measure volume, the result depends on the ingredient's density.
Formula and Step-by-Step
- Start with 1 gram of rice (short grain)
- 1 cup of rice (short grain) = 200g
- 1g ÷ 200g/cup = 0.0050 cups
The same formula works for any amount. Multiply (or divide) by the density, then convert units as needed.
Measuring Tip
Rice expands roughly 2-3x when cooked. 1 cup of dry rice (short grain) (200g) yields approximately 3 cups cooked.

Understanding the Units
What is a Gram?
Weighing ingredients in grams eliminates the variability of volume measurements. A cup of flour can weigh anywhere from 120g to 160g depending on how it was scooped, but 120g of flour is always 120g of flour.
What is a Cup?
A cup is a US customary unit of volume equal to 236.588 milliliters or 8 fluid ounces. It is the most common volume measurement in American recipes. One cup can be divided into 16 tablespoons or 48 teaspoons.
